MOA to host NBA preseason game?
Arena new home of NCAA in 2012

The state-of-the-art Mall of Asia Arena at the SM MOA Complex in Pasay City is hoping to host a preseason game of the National Basketball Association when it opens its doors next year.
Edgar Tejerero, senior vice president of West Avenue Theaters Corp., said SM, owned by business magnate Henry Sy, has grand plans on the first year of the MOA Arena and one of them is bringing in an NBA preseason game here.
“We’re changing the game, we’re offering something that’s never been done before in the Philippines,” Tejerero said at a press conference announcing the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) partnership with the MOA Arena for the league’s 88th season.
“We’re hoping to have an NBA game in the Philippines,” Tejerero added.
A number of major events are already in the pipeline at the MOA Arena, although the major announcement will come on Oct. 11.
The NCAA will consider the modern event center as its new home for its 88th Season in 2012, while the UAAP is also expected to hold its games there considering that National U, where Sy’s family is a majority owner, will be hosting next year.
Tejerero said they are also holding talks with the Philippine Basketball Association, which regularly holds its games at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao.
The MOA Arena has a full house capacity of 20,000 with a guaranteed seating of 16,000.
Tejerero said they actually tapped a stellar roster of architects for the Arena, including the group that plotted the Philips Arena in Atlanta, the homecourt of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks.
Meanwhile, the NCAA and the FilOil Flying V Arena in San Juan has also linked up with SM Tickets, a partnership which officials said will give easier access for fans wanting to buy tickets for games.
“This will only make the NCAA an even bigger league,” said Mike del Mundo of Perpetual Help, which is hosting the NCAA this year.
Tejerero said, in return, the NCAA and the Arena in San Juan will have full marketing support from the SM Group.

it definitely is a 16k seater. don't forget its a stadium mainly for basketball

filcan · June 27th, 2011, 03:22 AM

I was thinking the same thing that it seemed too small for 16K but looking at the pic below SM MOA Arena seems to be bigger on the outside than Araneta Coliseum.

rjmolera20 · June 27th, 2011, 07:14 AM

yahoo!! thanks for the new pics.. NBA! at last! a real basketball arena!

bahamut_zero · June 27th, 2011, 09:03 AM

Wow! Thanks sa pics vulture49! *okay*

At least this might prompt Araneta Coliseum na pagandahin lalo yung loob at facilities to compete with SM Arena. Ganda ganda naman.

based from TJ Manotoc's tweet, SM Arena has a capacity of 16K and 20K SRO. has 20(?) VIP boxes, and even the Gen Ad sections has seats and cup holders unlike Araneta. also double decker buses will ply the route from Taft to MOA for free.

rawr · June 27th, 2011, 12:31 PM

after this, my wish is a 40k capacity football stadium ready by 2014

Mas maganda ang interior ng SM Arena parang pang modern NBA kesa sa Araneta na parang pang 80's NBA pa ang interior.
