George_D Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 i think it would be better for basketball tournament to be held in a pure basketball venue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athan Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Yes, all those are possibilities, but basketball is very likely to stay in Las Ventas. It was moved there when Real Madrid announced that their new arena may not be built in time precisely because it's a symbol of the city and based on the experience of having hosted Davis Cup matches. It's not a pure sports venue but, as I said before, the crowds have always been festive in Las Ventas during the Davis Cup, and that's what the bid team seems to be looking for with the venue changes: festive atmosphere in Madrid's iconic landmarks.

Boxing will be in Palacio de Vistalegre or in IFEMA at last? In site, it is located still in IFEMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athan Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 In the end, boxing stays in IFEMA with judo and taekwondo, volleyball moves to Palacio de Deportes, beach volleyball to Retiro Park and basketball to Las Ventas. Vistalegre will not be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
