(Canon Medical Systems Ltd) It uniquely integrates world-class sports infrastructure with advanced imaging and diagnostic services under one roof, operated by The LivingCare Group, offering AI-assisted MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound and consulting rooms. (Canon Medical Systems) With a seating capacity of 2,500 for basketball, the arena is now home to the Sheffield Sharks and Sheffield Hatters, and is designed to host elite tournaments, community sport, concerts, and health outreach events.
