Sahara Arena

A large events venue with sahara arena in lower-case letters across the front, lit at night with a club banner hanging beside the entrance.

The building is a wide low-rise with a glazed frontage and a canopy, the kind of arena that hosts basketball and concerts. The name runs across the front in lower case, lit from within.

Beside it hangs a blue banner carrying a bird and the word Mavericks, which reads as the resident team. That has its own entry in this database.

It appears in the night overview of Vice City, picked out in light alongside the Ferris wheel and the arts centre — which is how we know it is a landmark rather than a background building.

The frame it comes from

The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the subject occupies 1613 by 475 of it. Also in it: Vice City, Vice City Arts Center, and The Sumerian.

What we still do not know

• Whether the arena is enterable
• Whether the Mavericks play in-game
• Whether events happen there on a schedule
• What else the venue is used for
