The Ariake Arena was one of the six permanent facilities designed to be built in the district of Ariake in order to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Its construction began in January 2017 and was completed in December 2019. The total cost of the project was around 35 billion yen (about US$320 million) and it has the capacity 12,000 spectators, which can be expanded to a max capacity of 15,000 with temporary seating.[3][4]
After the Olympic and Paralympic Games, a consortium let by Dentsu was granted an exclusive right to operate the facility until March 2046. Under a concession agreement, the Metropolitan Government receives a fixed amount of 9.4 billion yen (376 million yen per year) and a profit share payment (50% of pretax profit each year) from the consortium.[5]
It is scheduled to be used for the first time for sports after reopening with the B3 League game between Tokyo United v. Saitama Broncos, on October 9, 2022.
