Brisbane Entertainment Centre
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre is a multi-purpose indoor arena and concert venue located in Boondall, in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. The facility also houses a sporting complex and small function rooms which are available to hire for wedding receptions and business functions. The centre is managed by ASM Global.
The centre's large audience capacity is mostly used for the staging of concerts and musical theatre shows. It has also staged ice-skating shows, including Disney On Ice. The Entertainment Centre was also the filming venue for all three series of the original Australian series of Gladiators in 1995.
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre was built by the Brisbane City Council opened on Thursday 20 February 1986 with the first event being ice dancers Torvill and Dean. On 1 July 2002, the ownership was transferred to Stadiums Queensland. It has been operated since 1986 by ASM Global (formerly AEG Ogden Brisbane Pty Ltd).
Located in Boondall, just off the Gateway Motorway, patrons can catch a Queensland Rail City network service to Boondall railway station, on the Shorncliffe railway line, or travel by taxi. There are 4,000 car parking spaces. Buses do not run to the centre even on event nights.[citation needed]
The centre has 11,000 tiered seats and a maximum concert capacity of 13,601 making it the largest indoor live entertainment arena in Brisbane and the second largest permanent indoor arena in Australia behind only the 21,000 capacity Sydney Super Dome (it is smaller than the 14,820 seat Rod Laver Arena and the 14,856 seat Perth Arena, though both of those venues have a retractable roof). It cost $71 million to construct.
The arena has an array of seating plans which facilitate the comfort of its users, subject to performance. Specific seating plans are usually allocated, depending on the performance and the size of its audience. The general seating arrangements are end stage mode, "in the round" and intimate mode, which only uses half of the arena.
From 1986 to 1997, the BEC was home to former National Basketball League Australia (NBL) team the Brisbane Bullets.
The Bullets won the 1987 NBL championship against the Perth Wildcats, and secured their second NBL championship at this venue as they completed a two-game sweep of the Wildcats 2–0 after winning the first game which was played at the Perth Superdome.
