Shanghai Indoor Stadium (simplified Chinese: 上海体育馆; traditional Chinese: 上海體育館; pinyin: Shànghǎi Tǐyùguǎn) is a multi-purpose gymnasium, in Shanghai, China.
Hailed as a great feat of engineering at the time of its construction, the building is now considered dated and out-classed, by newly constructed sporting facilities nearby. It is now used mostly for entertainment events, rather than sporting competition.
