Name

The Shanghai Indoor Stadium is located close to Shanghai Stadium. The two facilities have very similar names in Chinese – the Shanghai Indoor Stadium is literally called a "Sports Arena" (体育馆) while the Shanghai Stadium is called a "Sports Field" (体育场) – while in English their names differ only by the addition of "Indoor". This poor translation has been a source of confusion, especially after the opening of Shanghai Metro Line 4 with adjacent stations of these names.

When serving as a concert venue, it is often referred to as Shanghai Grand Stage (Chinese: 上海大舞台) or Shanghai Gymnasium. It is also the venue for the annual Shanghai Masters snooker championship, a major event on the international snooker calendar.
