About Saitama Super Arena
Saitama Super Arena is an indoor, multi-purpose arena in Chūō-ku, in the city of Saitama in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. A preliminary opening on May 5, 2000 was followed by the official opening on September 1 of that year. It can hold at most 36,500 people, while the main arena holds between 19,000 and 22,500. Dan Meis, then of the architecture firm Ellerbe Becket, designed the arena with Nikken Sekkei, and Meis's design won out in an international design competition.
A gigantic movable section of seating can shrink the capacity for smaller events, creating a more intimate setting. The arena is a favorite venue for puroresu (professional wrestling in Japan) and MMA, and it has also hosted gymnastics, ice hockey, tennis, volleyball, basketball and boxing. UFC 144, on February 26, 2012, marked the Ultimate Fighting Championship's return to Japan, held at the arena. Pride Fighting Championships held events there from 2003 to 2006.
The Nashville Predators and Pittsburgh Penguins played two NHL hockey games at the arena in 2000. The knockout stage of the 2006 Basketball World Championship took place there, and it hosted basketball competitions at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The World Figure Skating Championships were held there in 2014, 2019 and 2023. The arena once held the John Lennon Museum, which closed in 2010.
