Shanghai Indoor Stadium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the indoor stadium in Shanghai. For the outdoor stadium "Shanghai Stadium", see Shanghai Stadium.
The Shanghai Indoor Stadium (上海体育馆) is a multipurpose gymnasium in Shanghai, China. Hailed as a feat of engineering at the time of its construction, the building is now considered dated and out-classed by newly constructed sporting facilities nearby. The Indoor Stadium is now used mostly for entertainment events rather than sporting competition.
[edit] Name
Shanghai Indoor Stadium is close to Shanghai Stadium. 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.
[edit] Transportation
Shanghai Indoor Stadium can be reached by taking Shanghai Metro Line 1 or Line 4 to the Shanghai Indoor Stadium station.
