Cuneta astrodome is one of the most famous indoor sporting venue in Manila. It was built in 1993 and was named after Pablo Cuneta, Pasay's long-time mayor and father of actress Sharon Cuneta.
Cuneta Astrodome is mostly famous for hosting basketball events; from the collegiate (UAAP, NCAA) to the amatuers (PBL) to the pros (PBA). PBA made it their home from 1993-1998 and played a total of 29 championships before going back to Araneta Coliseum, it previous home for many years. One thing I noticed, nowadays, PBA mostly host their games here during which Araneta Colesium is hosting other events.
Cuneta Astrodome also has its doors opened to other events; from evangelical to political gatherings to other sports discipline. In 1994, World Wrestling Federation (WWF), now World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), held a live event here and the most recent is the 2005 Southeast Asian Games for the sport of taekwondo.
By the way, Cuneta Astrodome is located along Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City.
