De Maaspoort

Maaspoort opened in 1982 as the Netherlands’ first basketball arena and grew into a versatile events complex in Den Bosch. In addition to its sporting history with Heroes Den Bosch, the venue has hosted major national and international concerts and corporate events over the decades. It features telescopic seating with LED lighting, a foyer, several meeting rooms with movable glass walls, seven changing rooms—including a luxury changing room for Heroes Den Bosch—and a smaller gymnasium-style hall. For combat sports, Maaspoort is a relatively new but increasingly popular venue: it combines the allure of a genuine sports arena with the logistical flexibility required by major event formats such as LFL.
