La Caja Mágica ("The Magic Box'"), also known as the Manzanares Park Tennis Center, is a sports structure located at the Park Manzanares, used for the Madrid Masters tournament in Madrid, Spain.
There are three courts under the one structure, and a series of retractable roofs.[2] The main stadium has a seating capacity of 12,442. There are two smaller courts in the structure, with Court 1 able to hold 3,500 people, and Court 2 to hold 2,500 people. The seating capacity of Courts 1 and 2 would have been increased if Madrid's bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics had been successful.[3]
In the 2010-11 season, was the home stadium for the Real Madrid basketball team.[4] It can also be used for concerts and shows. It was the venue for the MTV Europe Music Awards 2010 on 7 November 2010.
