The Colosseum of Indoor Tennis

Rod Laver Arena

The Rod Laver Arena, Centre Court of the opening Grand Slam of the year, the Australian Open, was named after one of Australia's greatest tennis players in the Open Era. It's a high-tech stadium that boasts of a sliding roof that closes in 15 to 20 minutes.

As Melbourne Park's central attraction, this titanic stadium, which sits on the banks of the Yarra River of Victoria, can warm up to 15, 000 human buttocks.
