Perth Arena is an entertainment and sporting arena in the city centre of Perth, Western Australia. It is located on Wellington Street near the site of the former Perth Entertainment Centre, and was officially opened on 10 November 2012. The Perth Arena is the first stage of the Perth City Link, a 13.5 hectare major urban renewal and redevelopment project which involves the sinking of the Fremantle railway line to link the Perth central business district directly with Northbridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mra.wa.gov.au/Projects/Perth-City-Link/About-the-Project/ )〕 The Perth Arena was jointly designed by architectural firms Ashton Raggatt McDougall and Cameron Chisholm Nicol. With its design based on the Eternity puzzle, the venue will hold up to 13,910 spectators for tennis events,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.venueswest.wa.gov.au/cproot/948/3/Perth%20Arena%20Seating%20Plan_Tennis.pdf )〕 14,846 for basketball (the arena's capacity is capped at 13,000 for National Basketball League regular season games)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.venueswest.wa.gov.au/cproot/947/3/Perth%20Arena%20Seating%20Plan_Basketball.pdf )〕 and a maximum of 15,000 for concerts. The venue has a retractable roof, 36 luxury appointed corporate suites, a 680-bay underground car park, 5 dedicated function spaces, and touring trucks can drive directly onto the arena floor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pertharena.com.au )〕 Perth Arena is owned by VenuesWest (which operates HBF Stadium, Bendat Basketball Centre, HBF Arena and others) on behalf of the WA Government and is managed by AEG Ogden - the Australasian arm of AEG Worldwide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.venueswest.wa.gov.au/cproot/1061/3/Media%20release%20-%20AEG%20Ogden%20Signing.pdf )〕 The inaugural General Manager of Perth Arena was David Humphreys, former General Manager of the Perth Entertainment Centre and Allphones Arena in Sydney.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/breaking/7863208/big-player-to-head-perth-arena/ )〕 Humphreys died two months before the venue's opening.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/perth-arena-general-manager-david-humphreys-dies-before-venue-opening/story-e6frg13u-1226465023009 )〕 AEG Ogden announced Steve Hevern as the interim General Manager on 3 October 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ausleisure.com.au/default.asp?PageID=2&ReleaseID=6689&Display=True )〕 Anchor tenants of Perth Arena include the Perth Wildcats〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/wildcats-owner-says-perth-arena-will-change-basketball/story-e6frg13u-1226042427573 )〕 and the Hopman Cup.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/perth-arena-to-ensure-hopman-cup-stays-in-wa-20100420-srev.html )〕 ==Construction== The tender for the project was won by Western Australian construction consortium BGC, and work commenced on the site in June 2007. The construction was marred by controversy in relation to the cost and time blowouts from the original $150 million estimate to $550 million. Auditor General Colin Murphy reported in 2010 that "The initial estimates of the cost and opening date for the Arena were unrealistic and made before the project was well understood or defined."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/top-stories/perth-arena-costs-have-blown-out-says-wa-auditor-general/story-e6frg12l-1225839241008 )〕 An example of the modifications to the original Arena design is the change of the carpark location from being built above the nearby railway line as a separate project to underneath the Arena itself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perth Arena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
