What is the seating capacity of Rod Laver Arena?

Rod Laver Arena has a standard seating capacity of 14,820. The Melbourne venue is the centre court and principal stadium of the Australian Open, held at Melbourne Park.

The arena opened in 1988 as part of the new Flinders Park tennis complex, replacing the Australian Open’s former home at Kooyong. It was originally known as Centre Court and was renamed Rod Laver Arena in 2000, honouring Australian tennis great Rod Laver, the only man to complete two calendar-year Grand Slams.

Capacity figures can vary depending on the event and seating layout. Basketball configurations can accommodate about 15,400 spectators because additional seats may be installed around the court, while concerts with floor seating can have a different capacity. The quiz’s 14,820 figure refers to the arena’s listed tennis seating capacity, not those alternate arrangements.
