But even outside the tournament, there are enough permanent arenas to keep you busy bouncing from concert to sporting event in a delightful sporting and musical frenzy.
For the record-breakers out there, the grand total (including both permanent and temporary arenas) could be somewhere around 18! That's enough to make even the most dedicated arena-hopper dizzy.
