Adelaide Arena (formerly the Clipsal Powerhouse (1992–2002), Distinctive Homes Dome (2003–2009) and Adelaide Dome (2009–2010)) is a privately owned multipurpose indoor sports stadium located in Findon, an inner western suburb of Adelaide, South Australia.
It is the home stadium for the Adelaide 36ers of the NBL and the Adelaide Lightning of the WNBL. The dome seats 8,000 with numerous courtside boxes and 19 elevated corporate suites. It is currently the largest purpose built basketball arena in Australia and as of the 2012-13 NBL season is the 5th largest venue currently used in the NBL.
The dome's floor is also built 5m into the ground which gives the building a lower overall profile. Spectators enter the dome above the main level seating bowl. The Dome was renamed the Adelaide Arena in 2010

Famous quotes containing the word arena:
“Children treat their friends differently than they treat the other people in their lives. A friendship is a place for experimenting with new ways of handling anger and aggression. It is an arena for practicing reciprocity, testing assertiveness, and searching for compromise in ways children would not try with parents or siblings.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
