The small capacity of the building (2,100 seats) condemned it to play all theChampions League matches and the importantSerie A1 matches in larger arenas around theMarche (Pesaro,Ancona etc ...). After an infinite number of disputes with the Municipality of Macerata (owner of the building) for the expansion of the sports hall, the team decided to accept the offer of the Municipality ofCivitanova Marche to move to a new sports hall built by them exclusively for Lube. The new 4,200-seat sports hall was inaugurated in 2015 and was calledEurosuole Forum for sponsorship reasons.
