Kasaysayan ng Cuneta Astrodome: Tahanan ng Klasikong Basketbol sa Pasay
From its grand 1993 opening to epic PBA Governors’ Cup buzzer beaters, Manila Clasico battles, and 33 years of Philippine sports heritage.
Opened in 1993, the Cuneta Astrodome was conceived by the City Government of Pasay to establish a modern, climate-controlled indoor arena for sports, civic assemblies, and national entertainment along the historic Roxas Boulevard corridor.
The facility was named in honor of Enrique Cuneta, prominent Pasay leader and the father of longtime Pasay City Mayor Pablo Cuneta (and grandfather of megastar Sharon Cuneta). With an intimate capacity of 12,000 spectators, the venue brought fans closer to the hardwood court than massive open coliseums, creating an amphitheater acoustics cauldron legendary among opposing visiting teams.
Relive the greatest chapters of Philippine basketball history staged under the Pasay dome:
Coached by Tim Cone and led by MVP Johnny Abarrientos, Jolas Lastimosa, and Bong Hawkins, Alaska secured decisive finals matches at Cuneta Astrodome en route to the rare PBA Triple Crown Grand Slam.
The legendary playing-coach era of Robert Jaworski Sr. packed the 12,000-capacity arena to the rafters, giving birth to iconic fourth-quarter comebacks and thunderous crowd chants shaking the dome.
Electric clashes between Barangay Ginebra and the Purefoods franchise (Alvin Patrimonio vs Jaworski era). Tickets sold out within hours at the Gate 1 box office with fans lining up along Roxas Boulevard.
