Where exhibition stands are set up today, sports history could be written tomorrow.

Earlier this year, the HanseMesse became the venue for top-class indoor sports for the first time. It started with a volleyball double-header by SV Warnemünde, followed a little later by HC Empor Rostock with their test match against SC DHfK Leipzig.
