Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Indoor arena in Hindmarsh, Adelaide, Australia
Adelaide Entertainment Centre is a multipurpose venue in South Australia designed to host sports competitions and live entertainment events. The facility features seating areas and technical infrastructure to accommodate diverse performances and athletic contests.
Announced in late 1989 at a cost of AU$44 million, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre was built from early 1990, a project that involved pouring 36,480 tonnes of concrete, then the largest concrete pour in South Australia. Premier John Bannon officially opened it on 20 July 1991. A $52 million redevelopment completed in 2010 added a new entry and theatre complex and 8,000 new seats in the main arena.
The arena sits on Port Road in Hindmarsh, just north-west of the Adelaide city centre, and a tram stop named for the centre serves the site. Doors open only for ticketed concerts, sport and shows, so check the event listing before travelling. The main arena floor measures 65.4 by 42.1 metres under a roof about 20 metres high.
