Also within the complex is the International Sports Hall, which is often used as a basketball venue. The maximum seating capacity of the arena is 1,600, and until 2006 was the home venue for the Sheffield Sharks, before they relocated to the EIS Sheffield. Amongst other events it has also hosted several Great Britain international matches as well as the Semi-finals of the BBL Cup in 2004, and will again host the BBL Trophy equivalent in February 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word basketball:

    Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.
    Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
