List of Philippine Basketball Association arenas
2006–07 Philippine Cup elimination round game at the Cuneta Astrodome between the Barangay Ginebra Kings and the San Miguel Beermen .
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) plays its games across multiple venues, a majority of which are played within Metro Manila . The PBA has two major venues: the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City and the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay .[ 1] There are also alternative venues within Metro Manila that used by the league whenever neither major venue is unavailable.
The league also occasionally schedules out-of-town games that are played outside of Metro Manila, mostly on Saturdays. The league's All-Star festivities are normally held out-of-town.
Background
Unlike other leagues elsewhere, most sports leagues in the Philippines, with some recent exceptions, are held in a central location. PBA teams are company teams and represent companies and not localities. The PBA itself rents different arenas and gymnasiums in Metro Manila and Antipolo to play a great majority of its games. The PBA reserves a single playing day (usually Saturday) for games hosted by venues outside Metro Manila.
