History
The arena was originally planned to open in 2014. That date was delayed due to local protests. The venue was initially planned to have a retractable roof, but it was ultimately built with a fixed roof instead.
Upon its completion, it became the largest indoor arena in Europe, surpassing the Olympic Stadium in Moscow, which held this title since 1980. It eventually opened in October 2017, although Racing 92 played their first home game in the new arena when they hosted Toulouse on 22 December 2017. The arena's working name was changed from "Arena92" to "U Arena"; alluding to the configuration of the main stands, and the structure's shape, when viewed from the air, in November 2016. The name was changed a second time to the current Paris La Défense Arena on 12 June 2018. This followed a 10-year naming rights agreement with Paris La Défense. This company manages the nearby La Défense business district. Starting 1 July 2026, the arena is named Plenitude Arena after Eni Plenitude bought the naming rights.
The Rolling Stones were the first band ever to perform a concert at the venue, closing their Europe-only No Filter Tour, with three shows, on 19, 22, and 25 October 2017. The arena's first rugby union match took place on 25 November 2017 between France and Japan. On 11 March 2018, the French professional basketball clubs Nanterre 92 and ASVEL Basket, played each other in a LNB Pro A 2017–18 season game. The game had 15,220 people in attendance, the highest in the league's history.15.220 fans in the U Arena!
