| MYTH |
| "The Move to La Defense Arena Killed The Paris Masters’ Unique Atmosphere" |
| TRUTH |
| BUSTED! The Paris Masters was famous for the "claustrophobic intensity" and loud acoustics of the smaller, former venue, the Accor Arena in Bercy. When the tournament moved to the much larger La Défense Arena with a Central Court Capacity of 17,500 spectators, some fans feared the atmosphere would be lost. However, the new stadium's vast size and modern acoustic design have amplified the crowd's energy, especially with the introduction of dedicated fan zones like the "Tribune Bleu." While the atmosphere is different, it remains one of the most unique and exciting tours on the schedule. |
