NRGi Arena blev bygget i 2001 som en del af det store renoverede sportskompleks Aarhus Atletion og en af de første store begivenheder i Arenaen var EM i kvindehåndbold 2002, hvor Danmark var ubeskeden nok til selv at hjemføre guldmedaljerne.
Her oplevede man for første gang, hvordan hallens enestående arkitektur skabte en fantastisk stemning og gav såvel spillere som tilskuere en helt unik oplevelse.
NRGi Arena danner hvert år ramme om de stemningsmættede pokalfinaler I Håndbold, men derudover er europamesterskaberne i bordtennis 2005, verdensmesterskaberne i gymnastik 2006, det verdenskendte hesteshow Apassionata samt det danske melodi grand prix blevet afviklet i Arenaen – hvor også berømtheder som Bill Clinton og Kofi Annan har holdt foredrag for fulde huse.
