About Ariake Arena
The brand-new Ariake Arena will host Olympic volleyball and Paralympic basketball, with seating for 15,000.
Solar panels on its curved roof were carefully aligned to avoid reflecting sunlight into nearby apartments.
The solar panels, heat sensors and geothermal pumps will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The venue is earmarked for concerts and sporting events after 2020.
