C-Verse Venue Expansion Project


Recommended Posts

I have caught up totally with all the additions over the last 5 days. Thank you to all who have given their venues. The home screen is updated, currently, Great Lakes, New England, South East, South West, Tri-State, Central Europe, Iberia, & Kansai have hit the TEN goal.

 

Big thanks to Jayda for helping get us past the 10 mark for the South East and also for hitting 50 new arena's made. He's been a big part of giving this project steam.

 

Thank you as well to Kg & Jaysin who have both hit 30 additions and have been instrumental in the making of new venues.

 

Thanks to Hecatomb for his debut in the project adding 18 new venues in the last few days. The detail put in is so in depth, it's awesome. I was shocked that Iberia actually got the TEN so quick and that's in large part thanks to Cat so thanks man.

 

Lastly, thanks to Jester for your debut making three new venues for Oceania, the land down under is rising.

<p>CHUBU</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Venue Name: Minato Terrace Arena</p><p>

Open Date: 2006</p><p>

Location: Chubu</p><p>

Venue Size: 140</p><p>

Description: Minato Terrace Arena in Nagoya is a very small event space that opened in 2006. The arena is attached to Minato Terrace Mall and was to be built at the same time but ended up being completed before any construction on the mall began. It existed for two years alone and partially closed for most of 2009 while the mall was completed. The space became very well known for its short plays and poetry sessions early on but began to attract a wider variety of events after Terrace Mall opened.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Venue Name: Iiyama General Gymnasium</p><p>

Open Date: 1998</p><p>

Location: Chubu</p><p>

Venue Size: 510</p><p>

Description: Iiyama General Gymnasium was established in 1998 in the small city of Iiyama, located between Nagano and Niigata. After years of population decline, the city built the gym in hopes that its central location between two large population hubs would be perfect for attracting event-goers and generating funds for the city. The plan has managed to create a small flow of income but the population continues to decline. People are happy to travel for events but few stay too long after. Despite this, the gym is a good location for anyone looking to host small events in the area</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Venue Name: Niigata Prefecture Athletic Center</p><p>

Open Date: 1995</p><p>

Location: Chubu</p><p>

Venue Size: 2850</p><p>

Description: Niigata Prefecture Athletic Center was outdated almost the moment it was completed. The arena was set to host professional basketball but, after numerous delays, the deal fell through. Since its completion, the center has been able to draw a steady number of events including concerts and sports but it has never been able to hit the marks its operators hoped for. The smaller arena in the southern part of the complex, NPAC Minami, generally draws more events. Despite this, if an open area and places for people to sit are what is needed, Niigata Prefecture Athletic Center can provide it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Venue Name: NPAC Minami </p><p>

Open Date: 1995</p><p>

Location: Chubu</p><p>

Venue Size: 755</p><p>

Description: NPAC Minami is a small arena that is south of and adjacent to Niigata Prefecture Athletic Center. Since its establishment, the little arena has outdrawn the larger in both number of events and financial gain. Its smaller size has proven to be key for continuous upgrades and maintenance. NPAC Minami hosts many different types of events including small conventions, theater, indoor soccer and wrestling.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Venue Name: 2 Stages Chika</p><p>

Open Date: 2001</p><p>

Location: Chubu</p><p>

Venue Size: 412</p><p>

Description: Located in the underground portion of JPHH Tower in downtown Nagoya, 2 Stages Chika is a small venue that mainly hosts touring bands and music events. The space is noted for its two facing stages and has created a local trend of dueling bands where each take turns playing songs and the crowd chooses a winner at the end. When not scheduling bands, the venue opens its space to most other types of entertainment including community theater, raves and video shoots. Kickboxing and wrestling shows are also common even with the limited capacity due to the ring.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Venue Name: Hoshi Hall</p><p>

Open Date: 1987</p><p>

Location: Chubu</p><p>

Venue Size: 1452</p><p>

Description: Located in Hamamatsu and within Hotel Shoji Ekimae, Hoshi Hall is an events area with a capacity just over 1,450. The space has the ability to be sectioned for small gatherings like parties and conferences or fully opened for larger events like MMA and wrestling. The hall also has retractable sections of stands that provide good views during performances. This, in addition to the hotel being just outside of the main train station, makes Hoshi Hall a great place for events in the area.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Venue Name: Nagoya City Gymnasium</p><p>

Open Date: 1971</p><p>

Location: Chubu</p><p>

Venue Size: 7390</p><p>

Description: Nagoya City Gymnasium is a multi-purpose gym that was built in 1971. At the time, it was one of the most advanced medium sized arenas in Japan but the look of both the inside and outside have become very dated. Fortunately, the look of the facility is really the only downside and it still maintains a steady flow of events. The upper level of the gymnasium has fixed seating for 4,400. An additional 2,990 seats can be set up around the floor for sports with a more confined area such as boxing, table tennis, volleyball, sumo and wrestling.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Venue Name: Kiiroi Taiyo Hall</p><p>

Open Date: 1985</p><p>

Location: Chubu</p><p>

Venue Size: 210</p><p>

Description: Kiiroi Taiyo Hall is a small event space located on the first floor of a mid-rise building in Chuo Ward, Niigata. The hall is offset slightly from the upper levels so, even though it is on the first floor, a large skylight is in the center of the space. While the skylight provides a lot of natural light, pale yellow walls add a drab quality to the room. Whether by choice or necessity, the owners will not change the color of the walls but recommend holding events at night for a more serene setting. The location along with the very reasonable pricing for rental keeps the small venue filled regularly by hosting music recitals, trade fairs, martial arts exhibitions and wrestling shows.</p>

<p>Just a note:</p><p> </p><p>

I imported mine into a game I'm playing and a few descriptions are a bit too long in the screen where you pick the venue. It does not appear to scroll so it seems like keeping the character count to about 580 should be good to fit the whole thing in.</p><p> </p><p>

Some of mine are just stupid long so I doubt it is an issue but wanted to mention the potential problem.</p>
