It's commonly used for basketball (농구), volleyball (배구), esports tournaments, and especially K-pop concerts. Many modern '아레나' in Korea are multi-purpose facilities designed for both sports and entertainment, featuring advanced sound and lighting systems. Unlike the more general '경기장' which often implies outdoor, '아레나' is distinctly indoor.
