History
The arena was built in 1987, to be used at the 1987 Summer Universiade and was then known as the Cibona Sports Centre (Croatian: Sportski centar Cibona). On 4 October 1993, it was renamed after the late former NBA player and basketball Hall of Famer, Dražen Petrović, a former Cibona Zagreb star. On 7 June 2006, on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of the death of Dražen Petrović, a museum-memorial center bearing his name was opened next to the hall. Petrović died in 1993, in a car accident, cutting his great career short.
Events
Cardinal Franjo Kuharić organized the first Christmas in Cibona concert in 1989, and since then it has been held annually.[1]
Artists that have performed at the hall include: Michael Bolton, Boney M, James Brown, José Carreras, Joe Cocker, Bryan Ferry, Diana Krall, Muse, Nightwish, Pain, Pet Shop Boys, P!nk, Seal and Simple Minds, among others.
