Raimundo Saporta Pavilion (originally known as Sports City of Real Madrid Pavilion) was an indoor sports arena used particularly for basketball matches of Real Madrid. Until 1999 it was known as the Sports City of Real Madrid Pavilion, when it was renamed in honorary of the former president of Real Madrid basketball team, the late Raimundo Saporta.〔(El derribo del pabellón Raimundo Saporta da paso a la construcción de cuatro rascacielos ), 11 August 2004 〕 It was demolished in 2004. ==Early history== The arena was inaugurated in 6 January 1966 for the annual intercontinental Philips trophy (later renamed annual Christmas tournament), in which Ignis Varese defeated local Real Madrid, the Jarnaco Saints of Chicago and the Brazilian Corinthians.〔(PABELLÓN DE LA CIUDAD DEPORTIVA DEL REAL MADRID (1966-2004)-Historia )〕 A year after its inauguration, on 1 April 1967, The arena saw the home team Real defeat Simmenthal Milano to claim its third European Champions cup title after a 93-91 victory.〔 Javier Gancedo, (Euroleague final back in Madrid after 41 years ), May 4, 2008〕 During the 21 consecutive years that Real played on the field of the old pavilion it would conquer 5 European Champions titles, 4 Intercontinental cups, 17 League Championships, 10 Cup titles, 1 Supercopa of Spain, 2 Matches of the Community of Madrid and 16 Matches of Christmas. The second in three straight Intercontinental cup wins〔(Basketball Men: Intercontinental Cup )〕 was achieved by the home team on the Pavilion floor in 1977.〔(IX Intercontinental Cup (Madrid 1977) )〕 The tremendous successes in that period of time made the 5,000 seat arena too small for a team of that magnitude, and in 1987 the team moved its home matches to the Palace of Sports of the Madrid Community located in the Goya Street of Madrid. 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「Raimundo Saporta Pavilion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
