Coliseo Cubierto El Campin 
Former names Coliseo Cubierto El Campin Location Bogota, Colombia Opened May 1, 1973 Capacity Tennis: 13,000
Concerts: 10,000Coliseo Cubierto El Campín (El Campin Covered Coliseum) is an indoor sporting arena located in Bogotá, Colombia. It was built in 1973. The capacity of the arena is 13,000 and is used mostly for basketball, tennis and concerts. The arena is the venue of many concerts in Bogota, even though is criticized for lack of acoustic. The government is studying the possibility of demolishing the Coliseum[1] and make a new one with all the amenities so the Coliseum can be replaced, but many people say they should leave the coliseum just for tennis and basketball, in consequence the government planted the possibility of building a new indoor arena in other place of the city to replace the Campin arena.[2][3]
