SM MOA Arena launches ‘The Cube’ during UAAP Season 87 Finals


Fans heading to the SM Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday for Game 2 of the UAAP Season 87 Men’s and Women’s Volleyball Tournament Finals will be treated to a first-hand look at “The Cube.”

As part of the arena’s 13th-anniversary celebration, the iconic Pasay City venue will unveil its newly upgraded center-hung LED scoreboard, dubbed “The Cube.”

The revamped display now spans 176 square meters — an increase of 36 square meters from the previous 138 — offering a significantly enhanced viewing experience.

Valued at over $2.1 million, the new centerpiece boasts a 117% improvement in display quality compared to its predecessor, according to the management of the 20,000-seater venue.

The Cube was developed by Daktronics, the renowned scoreboard manufacturer behind some of the NBA’s top arenas, including Madison Square Garden in New York City and Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
