Hong Kong Coliseum to hold more concerts after opening of Kai Tak Sports Park
Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom will be repositioned to hold more concerts following the launch of Kai Tak Sports Park, the city's tourism chief has said. Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui also revealed on Saturday the government would reserve some venues for long-running performances and Cantonese opera to ensure groups that staged quality performances had a chance to rent venues for shows. Law said Hong Kong Coliseum could be repositioned following the opening of Kai Tak Arena at Kai Tak Sports Park, which officially opened in March. 'With the opening of Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong's sports and entertainment experience has been elevated to an unprecedented level,' she said in a speech at a wealth management summit. 'Volleyball, handball, fencing, table tennis and other sports being held at Kai Tak Arena have been well-received by athletes and audience, so we have room to adjust the positioning of Hong Kong Coliseum, which is of the same size.' Kai Tak Arena can seat 10,000 people while Hong Kong Coliseum can hold 12,500.
