Palau Municipal d'Esports de Badalona

Palau Municipal d'Esports de Badalona is a multi-purpose arena. The building stands in the Gorg district. It was raised for the 1992 Olympics.

Inside, the surface is parquet — hard-surfaced — which is why some records list it as artificial. The capacity sits somewhere between 12,000 and 12,760 seats. The photo of the crowd shows them in red and white, but that is not the team's colours; the home side, Joventut de Badalona, plays basketball here, and the ACB league matches take place on the same court.

The address is on Av. Alfons XIII, and the nearest metro stop is Gorg. The building itself has changed little since it opened, though the names on the doors have shifted. It was once the Pavelló Olímpic de Badalona, a name that refers to its Olympic past, but the current title is longer and more local. The space is tight for a football crowd, and the wind does not go straight through it, as it would on an open-air pitch. It is an indoor arena, and the sound stays inside.
