List Of Venues Played By The Philippine Basketball Association
A majority of elimination round games are held in the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Mall of Asia Arena at Pasay City (both at Metro Manila) are the alternative venue or the second venue when the Smart Araneta Coliseum is unavailable. Playoff games are exclusively held at venues in Metro Manila, most especially the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Provincial games are held on selected locations throughout the country, with most of the games held on a Thursday or a Saturday. Very rarely does a playoff game is held outside Metro Manila, if at all.
All-Star games, on the other hand, are currently rotated between Luzon and Visayas/Mindanao. Metro Manila last hosted the all-star game on 2003; Baguio and La Union jointly co-hosted the all-star weekend for 2007. Bacolod hosted the 2008 edition which ran from April 24–27, 2008.
Five games had been held overseas: one each at Jakarta, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Guam and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, played, basketball and/or association:
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“Farce is tragedy played at a thousand revolutions per minute.”
—John Mortimer (b. 1923)
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
“... a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself cannot stand upon it.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
