SM Mall of Asia Arena
The SM Mall of Asia Arena, also known as the Mall of Asia Arena or the MoA Arena, is an indoor arena within the SM Mall of Asia complex, in Bay City, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. It has a seating capacity of 15,000 for sporting events and a full house capacity of 20,000. The Arena officially opened on May 21, 2012, with a total area of 64,000 m2 (690,000 sq ft).
The SM Mall of Asia Arena is one of the main venues for the Philippine Basketball Association, University Athletic Association of the Philippines and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The Arena is also the alternate venue of the Premier Volleyball League when the Philsports Arena in Pasig is unavailable.
The construction of the SM Mall of Asia Arena began in 2010, and costed around ₱3.6 billion. The venue is part of the master plan for the SM Mall of Asia complex which in 2012 already had the SMX Convention Center and the One E-com and Two E-com office buildings.
The arena had its topping-off ceremony in September 2011 and was opened about two years later after it broke ground. The first public event hosted at the indoor arena was the two-night Born This Way Ball concert of Lady Gaga which began on May 21, 2012. A separate event was held as part of the grand opening ceremony of the indoor arena held on June 16, 2012; the Icons at the Arena: Masters of OPM which featured various local musicians and singers which was organized by Star Events of ABS-CBN, directed by Johnny Manahan with Ryan Cayabyab as the concert's musical director.
The arena was refurbished ahead of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
The SM Mall of Asia Arena was designed by architecture firm Arquitectonica. The facility was intended primarily as a venue for concerts and basketball games but can be reconfigured to accommodate other sporting and entertainment events as well. It has a seating capacity of 15,000 but can host as much as 20,000 people in a full-house capacity.
The indoor arena stands on a 16,000 m2 (170,000 sq ft) site, and has a floor area of 52,000 m2 (560,000 sq ft). The limited area of the site meant that part of the building to span over the adjacent Pacific Drive. Due to a high water table, the construction of basement parking levels was limited and a separate eight-storey parking building called Mall of Asia Arena Annex (MAAX) which can accommodate 1,400 vehicles had to be built. The façade of the building are covered with low-e coated and fritted insulated glass units.
The structure hosting the events space was designed in a form of an eye which was supported by a slanted podium plinth.
