Orfeo Superdomo

The Orfeo Superdomo is an indoor arena located in the city of Córdoba in the homonymous province of Argentina. The arena was primarily used to host sporting events such as basketball, volleyball, boxing, and tennis matches. It was also the host venue for most concerts in Córdoba. The seating capacity of the arena is 14,000 people for sports, and 8,000 to 12,000 people for concerts.

The arena is owned and operated by "Grupo Dinosaurio S.A.", a local corporate group that also owns and manages companies in the retail, hotel, entertainment, and media areas. It remains inactive since its closure in 2020.

History
Orfeo Superdome's opening was on 6 September 2002, with a concert by rock band Divididos to promote their album Vengo del placard de otro. On 24 January 2010, the arena hosted a concert by Metallica, which sold out within a few hours of being announced. Guns And Roses was another international band to perform at Superdomo in October 2011, followed by Deep Purple six days later.

Due to financial problems that became critic during the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina, the group decided to close the venue in 2020. Few days after its closure, the Córdoba City Council declared Orfeo Superdomo of municipal interest to avoid it was demolished. In 2021, the venue was used as vaccination center during the Covid pandemic. After that, the Orfeo was closed and has remained in such condition since then.

Post-closure
The lack of concerts in Córdoba caused by the Orfeo Superdome's closure, encouraged some Cordobese entrepreneurs to project the openning of new venues to host music concerts in the city. Infinito Open, a local firm, announced that would build an arena near the Córdoba–Rosario highway while the Provincial Government also showed its intentions to open an arena near Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. It its intended to have a capacity for 12,500 people, with a cost of construction of USD30 million. The government also stated that the former venue building could serve as seat for a medical center.
