    Grounds

Although until the landing in Serie A2 the team kept the name of the town Treia, given the lack of a building or a simple gym it was immediately associated with the PalaFontescodella, which was the historic building of the Lube until 2015. The small capacity of the building condemned it to play all the Champions League matches and the important Serie A1 matches in larger arenas around the Marche. After an infinite number of disputes with the Municipality of Macerata for the expansion of the sports hall, the team decided to accept the offer of the Municipality of Civitanova 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 called Eurosuole Forum for sponsorship reasons.
