Sports Stadium

Runaway Bay Indoor Sports Stadium has four indoor basketball courts with polished wooden floors that produce a hollow sound when in use. The building has a corrugated roof and large steel beams, resulting in a noticeable echo. Overhead spotlights reflect off the shiny floor, which may cause glare.

A tiered seating area on one side can hold up to 250 spectators. The space is often used for basketball games, training sessions, and spectating. The environment is busy, with movement, bouncing balls and voices contributing to an energetic setting.
