Venue

On May 8, 2011, Euroleague Basketball announced that the Final Four would be held at the Sinan Erdem Dome, in Istanbul.[1] It has a seating capacity of 22,500 for concerts, and 16,000 for the sport of basketball, making it Turkey's largest multi-purpose indoor venue, and the third largest in Europe (although it is not the third largest in Europe in capacity for basketball use). The arena is named after Sinan Erdem (1927–2003), who was the President of the Turkish Olympic Committee, from 1989, until his death in 2003.
