The Philippine arena boasts of 55,000 seating capacity and sits on a 50-hectare property.
It was designed by famed Kansas City-based architecture firm Populous led by Andrew James as senior principal. The firm has been known for being the creative minds behind the Yankee Stadium in New York City and the Wimbley Stadium in London.
The concept for Philippine Arena was borne of a need to have a large venue for the growing number of Iglesia ni Cristo members. The venue was designed in such a way that “there are clear sightlines from every seat on each tier” for various configurations such as church service or sporting activities.
Bro. Edwin Zabala, Iglesia ni Cristo spokesperson, said building the arena became possible because of “God’s goodness and the generosity of our members.” And because it is a dome for GOD no wonder the Discovery Channel dubbed the newly launched arena as one of the "man made marvels" for being earthquake-proof.
This arena proves that prayers can move mountains.
