The 'Antel Arena' is a multipurpose indoor arena that is located in the neighborhood of Villa Española, Montevideo, Uruguay. The arena has a capacity of 15,000 people for concerts, and 10,000 people for basketball games.
The arena is owned by ANTEL, after they reached an agreement with the city of Montevideo, which granted them the rights to the arena for 30 years.[1][2]
History
The arena was built at the location of the old Municipal Cylinder, after it was left in a dilapidated state after a fire. Before the Antel Arena could be constructed, the old Municipal Cylinder had to be demolished. Construction on Antel Arena began in May of 2014, and the arena opened on November 12, 2018.[3][4]
