香港體育館（紅館）Hong Kong Coliseum Venue Guide
About 香港體育館（紅館）Hong Kong Coliseum
香港體育館 (Hong Kong Coliseum), commonly known as 紅館 (Red Pavilion) or 紅磡體育館, is Hong Kong's iconic indoor multi-purpose arena. Located at 9 Cheong Wan Road (暢運道), Hung Hom, Kowloon, it is built on the platform above MTR Hung Hom Station. Opened on April 27, 1983, the venue has a distinctive inverted pyramid / diamond shape and a pillar-free interior, offering unobstructed views from all seats. It is the landmark stage for C-pop concerts—hosting a solo concert here is considered a major milestone for Hong Kong and Chinese-language artists. The coliseum can accommodate up to 12,500 people (four-sided stage) or around 7,000 (three-sided stage), with 10,400 fixed seats. Managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), it hosts sports, concerts, cultural events, and celebrations.
