Cuneta Astrodome

Cuneta Astrodome is an indoor sporting arena located in Roxas Boulevard, Pasay,


Philippines. It is better known as the home of the Philippine Basketball Association
from 1993, when it left the PhilSports Arena, then known as the ULTRA, until 1998. It
is also a host to other basketball leagues and political and evangelical gatherings.

The arena is named after Enrique Cuneta, a prominent Pasay city official during the
American colonial period.

Despite its name, the Cuneta Astrodome is not a dome-shaped indoor arena, since its
exterior is rectangular in shape.
Built in 1993, the arena became the PBA’s home after the league signed a five-year deal with the Pasay
City government. During the first two years, the league played all of its games (except those played in
provinces) at the Astrodome before limiting its schedule to Tuesday and Sunday games, as the league
played its Friday games at the Araneta Coliseum in 1995.

KJC King Dome


Architecture and design

An Australian architect is behind the design of the KJC King Dome. The
design has been compared to the Staples Center by KJC leader Apollo
Quiboloy, with one level of the multi-level King Dome excavated down
due to its proximity to Davao City's international airport. It will occupy
a floor area of 40,000 to 50,000 square meters (430,000 to
540,000 sq ft). It will also have 38 elevators and an airconditioning
system. The Australian designers proposed a rectractable roof for the
indoor arena but this suggestion was declined.[6]
Dafeng, a firm involved in the project will provide the lighting,
seating, curtain wall, and stage machinery of the indoor arena. The KJC
Kingdome will have a double-curved glass curtain wall, an cellular
aluminum panel system, and flood lighting. Its facade will look like a
crown.[4]

Construction

The construction of the KJC King Dome is being managed by the ACQ Solomonic Builders Development
Corporation, a subsidiary of the Christian church, Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC).[1] The groundbreaking
ceremony of the facility being built beside the Francisco Bangoy (Davao) International Airport complex.
[2] was commenced on September 3, 2012[3] and is expected to be completed by 2025[1]

In January 2018, Zhejiang-based Chinese sports firm Dafeng formally entered in a partnership with KJC in
a signing ceremony in Hangzhou. The project has been included in the One Belt One Road Initiative by
the Chinese Ministry of Culture.[4]

Valenzuela Astrodome
Astrodome: “The City of Valenzuela is committed to its advocacy of providing an avenue for the
development of holistic teamwork and self-discipline, through promoting physical education and
encouraging sports programs and competitions towards healthy and productive Valenzuelanos.” (words
seen at the Astrodome entrance)

Two thumbs up for (1) the well-lit name of the sports venue, (2) the comfortable chairs wherein the
colors are taken from the Philippine flag, (3) clean comfort room, and (4) good wall color combination.
One Valenzuela believes the air conditioning system is soon to follow.
