SMART ARANETA COLISEUM
At the heart of the Araneta City is the 20,000- seater Smart Araneta Coliseum, the country’s iconic sports and entertainment mecca. With its identity inseparable from the Araneta City, the venue is famous for what is considered to be one of boxing’s best fights ever, the “Thrilla in Manila“ between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.
The Big Dome had its makeover in March 2012 with the construction of a 4-storey glass wall atrium at the Green Gate. This now serves as a ceremonial entrance of the coliseum.
The Coliseum has an improved Red and Green Gate lobbies, back-of-house facilities as well as newly appointed upper box and patron sections, and additional safety features. All arena seats have been replaced for the convenience of audiences that troop to the venue to watch over 260 local and international shows every year.

The New Frontier Theater is a multi-function venue that can house everything from mid-size concerts and private gatherings to conventions and seminars. The ground level seats may be taken out to accommodate more people. It has al-fresco dining restaurants and fast food joints along its perimeter.
