Ziggo Dome is mainly used for concerts as it's designed for amplified music, but can also be converted into a sports arena with possible conversions to a tennis field, an ice rink or korfball field. The arena can also convert for swimming competition with a possible installation of an Olympic-sized swimming pool. In 2017, the venue was ranked the fifth busiest in the world, behind Madison Square Garden in NYC, SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Manchester Arena and The O2 Arena in London.
