The Velodrom, as well as the Max-Schmeling-Halle and several indoor swimming pools, were initially built to host the Olympic Games 2000, which Berlin had hoped to host. When the Olympic Committee decided to hold the event in Sydney instead, the building concepts of the Velodrom and the Max-Schmeling-Halle were altered to become a multifunctional arena accommodating many different events.
