The Philippine Arena is the world's largest indoor arena.[8] It is a multipurpose indoor arena with a maximum seating capacity of 55,000 at Ciudad de Victoria, a 140-hectare (350-acre) tourism enterprise zone in Bocaue and Santa Maria, Bulacan, Philippines[9] about 30 kilometers (19 mi) north of Manila. It is one of the centerpieces of the many centennial projects[10] of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) for their centennial celebration on July 27, 2014.[11] The legal owner of the arena is the INC's educational institution, New Era University.[12] The arena is officially recognized by the Guinness World Records as the largest mixed-use indoor theater in the world on July 27, 2014.[13]
It is sometimes advertised to be located in Manila on promotional materials of international events as its location is within the Greater Manila Area.
