achievement generates a wide range of chances, extracts fame for the nation, and also
reveals the athlete's heart, which unites the hearts of people from that nation. The

The Philippine Arena is the world's largest indoor arena. It is a multipurpose indoor
tourism enterprise zone in Bocaue and Santa Maria, Bulacan, Philippines about 30
kilometers north of Manila. It is one of the centerpieces of the many centennial projects of
the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) for their centennial celebration on July 27, 2014. The legal owner
of the arena is the INC's educational institution, New Era University. The arena is officially
recognized by the Guinness World Records as the largest mixed-use indoor theater in the
Structure
Built on 99,200 square meters (1,068,000 sq ft) of land, the arena has a dome over
9,000 square meters (97,000 sq ft).[21] The oval roof has a dimension of 227 m × 179 m
(745 ft × 587 ft) and contains 9,000 tons of steel work. The roof was made as a separate unit
to reduce burden on the arena with extra load. The arena is 65 meters (213 ft) in height, or
about fifteen stories high and founded on pile construction. About a third of the dead load of
the building was designed for earthquake loads. The building was also divided into multiple

BODY OF RESEARCH
A sports complex is a group of sports facilities. Which includes, track and field
stadiums, football stadiums, baseball stadiums, swimming pools, and Indoor arenas. These
places need proper maintenance. In such stadium, and arena, it is facility managers,
executives, that are responsible for the day-to-day operations and management involved in
running a sports facility. Sports Equipment Managers are responsible for maintaining,

even for various arena configurations such as church ceremonies, boxing, tennis, concerts

1. Pedestrian/traffic patterns
4. Availability of utilities.
6. Location should not be on an area too small to allow for design options or
additions
Traffic Circulation
Drive ways should be so free to make direct access to the parking area and this
should not bisect playing areas. The most important consideration in traffic circulation and
control is the location of the building and also to minimize congestion in corridors, staircase,
locker rooms, spectator areas, minimizing the disturbances of students and staff offices,
classrooms and study room, enhancing efficient and safe movement and providing for future
building expansion.
Space Relationships
instructional areas and service areas to the placement and size of corridors, lobbies, stair
and doors. Spectator space should be separated from the swimming pool and pool deck
areas, gymnasium floor and other activity areas. Entrance to the seating area should be
direct from the outdoors or from the corridor or foyers without requiring travel through locker

rooms or across pool decks or gymnasium. It is also important that traffic flow to and from
the locker room should not cross the gymnasium floor. The location of toilet rooms in relation
to the swimming pool and to outside facilities should be given careful considerations
There should be means of security of the individuals since people enter the general
building through many outside doors and disperse to offices, classrooms, dressing rooms,
activity areas and spectator galleries. The following are security measures:
1. There should be direction and control of all persons using the building
2. All swimming pool doors should be locked when there is no class going on and
3. In gymnasium, the room or store where equipment such as trampoline are kept
4. Viewing balconies and stairs should have handrails and lights at the sides or
5. Activity areas, shower rooms and dressing rooms should be free to obstruction and
objects
Security of the building and its component rooms against illegal entry is the first and
most logical consideration in terms of building protection. Good door framing, substantial
doors and heavy-duty hardware and lock hold-up are necessary to protect against wear,
abuse, loss or damage and theft. Also, the following should be put in place:

STRUCTURAL CONCEPT
A three-dimensional steel building frame which is stable against wind and quake loads.
Three-dimensional truss is based on the rigidity of the triangle and composed of linear
elements subjected only to compression or tension. Its simplest spatial unit is tetrahedron
having four joints and six members. A space frame forms, a very strong, thick, flexible
structural fabric that can be used horizontally or bend to a variety of shapes. The beauty of

its open lattice work web of lightweight tubular diagonals is o nly superpassed by its
structural purity
The trade-off between comfort and capacity is an issue that requires careful review. It
follows that the more space allowed for each seat, the lower the stadium capacity, unless, of
course, the overall size of the venue is increased, which will, in turn, increase construction
A principal factor that can negatively affect the quality of a stadium is the poorly
designed distribution of facilities, uses and spaces and/or ill-planned circulation systems
which fail to take into account the movements of the different users within public and non-
initially on the arrival and subsequent distribution routes of the general public. These will be
determined by two main factors: seat location (i.e. the stand and level/tier) and the seating
independent circulation from the exterior access points to the final internal destination of
each category of stadium user before, during and after the match. This enables the stadium
operators to provide adequate and efficient control measures throughout the duration of the
event
Concourses

ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT
The concourses are the passages inside the stadium through which spectators get
from the main entrance to their seats. The concourse areas must be wide enough to
allow a smooth flow of people before, during and after the match and also, of course,
allow for the safe evacuation of the stadium in the event of an emergency.
Signage
Clear and adequate signage is an essential requirement in any major building that
will be used by large numbers of people and that has different points of access.
Food and beverage concessions are a vital part of the matchday experience for
spectators and they are an equally vital source of revenue for the stadium operator.
Merchandise outlets

Toilets
One of the most important public facilities in a stadium are the toilets. These are
normally located in the main concourses, and are positioned to make access from the
A central first aid room must be provided and located in a position that allows easy access

designers should take care to include adequate access points, safe evacuation areas,
suitable seating on all levels and dedicated toilets and refreshment areas for disabled fans,
to ensure they have the same opportunity to enjoy the matchday experience as other
spectators.
The ability to provide high-quality hospitality for VIPs, including special guests,
commercial partners and corporate clients, has become an important facet of modern
stadiums and is an increasingly valuable source of revenue. Some clubs and national
associations now go to exceptional levels to ensure their VIPs enjoy the best and most
comfortable experience imaginable. VIP enclosures and hospitality facilities are therefore
especially in larger stadiums. There may be occasions when the club or association
plays host to VVIPs or dignitaries (e.g. royalty or heads of state), and they will need to be
accommodated in an exclusive area, segregated even from the other VIPs, benefitting
Media facilities
Members of the media should benefit from preferential access and movement within
the stadium as they will need to interact with various other user groups (including players,

It is essential to ensure that the teams are able to arrive at and depart from the
stadium in complete safety. Dedicated access routes and parking for the team coaches and
officials’ vehicles need to be planned in a way that allows for water-tight security control.

The stadium manager and support staff will require adequate office space and
