PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas – One of the Battle 4 Atlantis’ defining features is Imperial Arena, the temporary basketball venue set up each year to host the tournament.
The arena is pieced together in a ballroom between the Beach and Coral Towers at the Atlantis resort. The court itself sits directly on top of the ballroom carpet. Sections of chair-back seats are brought in and placed around the court, as are two scoreboards that hang in the corners of the arena.
The lighting adds another element to the arena. The stands are kept dark during play except for some blue light, which creates a blue aura around the playing surface.
