Original Purpose: Hosted gymnastics, basketball, and trampoline events during the 2000 Sydney Olympics. New Purpose: A major concert and entertainment arena, now known as Qudos Bank Arena. After the Olympics, Sydney's SuperDome transitioned into a world-class entertainment venue. Now one of Australia's largest indoor arenas, it has hosted concerts by international superstars like Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, and Madonna, along with major sporting events and conventions. Its successful post-Olympic transformation showcases how a well-designed venue can seamlessly shift from sports to large-scale entertainment.
