With the special design of an inverted pyramid, the Hong Kong Coliseum is one of the icon buildings in Hong Kong. The 12,500-seat Coliseum has been successful in meeting the demands of the community for a multi-purpose indoor stadium for big events. Adjacent to the railway station, the venue is easily accessible by trains and other public transport. Since its opening in 1983, the popular Coliseum has played host to thousands of spectacular shows and large-scale activities, and has now become the premier indoor venue of the city for sports events and pop concerts.
