Major Makeover is Big Dome's Answer to Mall Of Asia Arena
As the live music scene heats up further and more foreign performers
regularly include Manila in their tour dates, the need for competitive
concert venues has risen.
At present there are only two major venues—the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City and the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena in Pasay—that can accommodate crowds of 10,000 or more.
A third one—the 50,000-capacity Philippine Arena in Bulacan—is being built by the Iglesia ni Cristo for its congregation but will likewise be available for entertainment and sports events. It is set to open in 2014.
The presence of MOA Arena and soon-to-open Philippine Arena has posed a serious challenge to Smart Araneta. The latter, also known as the Big Dome, is in the midst of a makeover that it calls “extreme transformation.”
