With the best acoustics in Latin America, it is one of the favorite places by major international stars due to its combination of comfort, convenience and quality.

In 2016, Lionel Richie and Iron Maiden also performed in the space.
  
  With 10 ceiling beams that support up to 6 tons each, the 2,400 m2 space has versatility as one of its greatest advantages, and it offers the possibility to adjust the internal layout to the size of the event, due to its modular structure. Its operation, with retractable bleachers, offers dozens of layouts to organize events with audiences ranging between 300 and 18,000 people.

Location
- Located on Avenida Abelardo Bueno, one of the main routes of Barra da Tijuca, Rio Arena has a car park for over 1,000 cars and offers convenience for those who want to access the complex by public transport. Rio Arena is established in an area, which is widely served by public transportation options. For instance, the arena has Rio 2 BRT station and also 1 more station a few meters from its entrance gate.
  
  As a result of a large urban integration plan of Rio de Janeiro city for the Olympics, all the surrounding area around the complex has been revitalized and valued. The avenues Abelardo Bueno and Salvador Allende, main access routes to Rio Arena, were duplicated and now have five lanes in each direction. The project directly benefited urban mobility, improving traffic flow and traffic capacity in the area, especially in the busiest hours.
  
  In order to arrive at Rio Arena, people from all neighborhoods have several alternatives. In addition to the expanded access, new routes have been created. The main access to Barra da Tijuca, through the South Zone, has also been duplicated. And for those who come from the South Zone to Rio Arena by public transportation, it is possible to take the subway that integrates with the lines of Transoeste and Transolimpica. But for those coming from the West Zone or Lowlands, there is Transolimpica lines carrying passengers to the new BRT stations. This easy access also applies for those coming to the Arena through Tom Jobin International Airport, Linha Vermelha or Linha Amarela expressways. Being integrated, the routes lead to the venue in a practical and fast way.
