List of indoor arenas by capacity

For domed and retractable roof stadiums, see List of covered stadiums by capacity.

The following is a list of sports indoor arenas ordered by capacity, that is the maximum number of spectators the arena can accommodate for a sports event. Currently all arenas with a capacity of 15,000 or more are included. Domed and retractable roof stadiums that host indoor events, such as the Carrier Dome (Syracuse, New York, USA) are not included. In addition, only the capacity for indoor sports, such as basketball, ice hockey, volleyball, etc. are included.
