From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brisbane Entertainment Centre is located in Boondall, a Brisbane City suburb in Queensland, Australia.
The centre's huge audience capacity is used for the staging of concerts and musical theatre shows, including "Grease", "Beauty and the Beast", "The Man from Snowy River: Arena Spectacular" and others. Brisbane Entertainment Centre has also staged ice-skating shows, including "Disney on Ice".
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre was formerly the home of the Australian National Basketball League (NBL) basketball team, the Brisbane Bullets.
The centre has 11,000 tiered seats and a maximum concert capacity of 13,000. The largest basketball crowd was 12,236 in the third and final game of the 1987 NBL final between the home team and Perth Wildcats.
The arena has an assortment of seating plans which facilitate the comfort of its users, subject to performance. Specific seating plans usually are allocated depending on the performance and the size of its audience. The general seating arrangements at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre are end stage mode, "in the round", and intimate mode which only uses half of the arena.
The centre also has a sporting complex and many other smaller function rooms which are available to hire for wedding receptions, business functions and the like.
