Shanghai Indoor Stadium
Encyclopedia
Shanghai Indoor Stadium is a multi-purpose gym
nasium, 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.
. The two facilities have very similar names in Chinese – the Indoor Stadium is literally called a "Sports Hall" (体育馆) while the Shanghai Stadium is called a "Sports Field" (体育场) – while in English their names differ only by the addition of "Indoor". This has been a source of confusion, especially after the opening of Shanghai Metro Line 4
with adjacent stations of these names.
When serving as a concert venue, it is often referred to as Shanghai Grand Stage (Shanghai Gymnasium).
It is the venue for the annual Roewe Shanghai Masters snooker championship, a major event on the snooker calendar.
