## History

[edit]

PalaSerradimigni was officially opened in 1981. The arena originally had a seating capacity of 2,500. In 1992, the seating capacity of the arena was increased to 4,532. In 2005, the arena's parquet flooring was updated and replaced.

In 2006, the arena was named after Roberta Serradimigni, who died in a car accident at the age of 32, and who is considered to be one of the best basketball players from Sardinia. In 2009, the protective glass that was around the court was removed, and the retractable hanging baskets were replaced with the new floor level modern regulation baskets. A commemorative plaque in honor of Roberta Serradimigni, was added to the arena in 2012.

The seating capacity of the arena was increased to 4,984 during the end of the 2013–14 basketball season. The seating capacity was then increased to 5,000 for the start of the 2014–15 basketball season, in order to meet the minimum Euroleague arena standards, as the arena's tenants, Dinamo Basket Sassari, qualified to play in the Euroleague 2014–15 season. A planned future expansion project to the arena will increase the seating capacity to 5,600.
