Toyota will put its expertise in mobility and technology to work in designing what it’s calling the next-generation sports arena.
The Japanese company known for its cars and trucks announced a partnership Monday in Tokyo to turn a car theme park site there into a sustainable and configurable sports arena by 2025. Toyota closed the theme park site, Mega Web, in 2021. Toyota Motor Corp., parent of Plano-based Toyota North America, will collaborate with Toyota Fudosan and Alvark Toyota on the project.
The Tokyo A-Arena will be home to Toyota’s professional basketball team, Alvark Tokyo, and include the main arena, a sub-arena and a building for team operations. It will also include two rooftop park spaces for the public where events and sports training can take place.
