About Acer Arena

The Sydney Super Dome is a large multipurpose arena located in Sydney, Australia.

The development of the stadium was part of three subsites which also included a 3, 400-space carpark which cost A$25 million, and a plaza with external works, also costing $25 million. The roof's masts reach 42m above ground level, and the stadium occupies a site of 20000m2. The arena is ranked in the top 10 arenas worldwide. It is currently managed by AEG Ogden.
