Shanghai Indoor Stadium

Shanghai Indoor 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.

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.

Transportation

Shanghai Indoor Stadium can be reached by taking Shanghai Metro Line 1 or Line 4 to the Shanghai Indoor Stadium station.
