Shanghai Indoor Stadium, () also known as the Shanghai Grand Stage, is a multi-purpose gymnasium in Shanghai. Hailed as a great feat of engineering at the time of its construction, the building is now considered dated and out-classed by newly constructed sporting facilities nearby. It is now used for entertainment events and sporting competitions, like table tennis. Name The Shanghai Indoor Stadium is located close to Shanghai Stadium. The two facilities have very similar names in Chinese – the Shanghai Indoor Stadium is literally called a "Sports Arena" () while the Shanghai Stadium is called a "Sports Field" () – while in English their names differ only by the addition of "Indoor". This poor translation has been a source of confusion, especially after the opening of Shanghai Metro Line 4 with adjacent stations of these names. When serving as a concert venue, it is often referred to as Shanghai Grand Stage () or Shanghai Gymnasium. It is also the venue for the annual Shanghai Masters snooker championship, a major event on the international snooker calendar.
