| The Gameville Central Park will be TNT's new home. |
MANILA—After two decades, TNT bid goodbye to the Moro Lorenzo Sports Center inside the Ateneo campus in Quezon City.
On Monday, head coach Chot Reyes and some Tropang 5G players shared a glimpse of their new home, Gameville Central Park in Mandaluyong.
Opened last month, the said training facility immediately hosted some badminton and volleyball events before having a major basketball tenant with the MVP Group's flagship PBA franchise.
So what does the new sports hub at "Crossing", also known as the EDSA-Shaw Boulevard intersection, offer?
Gameville Central Park was designed with a simple philosophy: the experience begins long before the opening whistle and continues long after the final buzzer.
While the courts remain the heart of the facility, the vision extends far beyond the game itself. Every space within Gameville Central Park is intentionally designed to create an environment where athletes, families, and fans enjoy spending time together.
A sports bar and food hall
Unlike traditional sports venues where food is often an afterthought, Gameville Central Park features a dedicated sports bar and food hall that serves as a gathering place before, during, and after every event.
The focus is simple: good food, fast service, and a comfortable atmosphere.
Whether it's athletes recovering after competition, families sharing a meal, or friends catching live games on screen, the food hall is designed to become part of the overall event experience rather than simply a concession area.
The goal is to transform every visit into a social occasion where people choose to stay, connect, and celebrate the sport they love.
The Gameville Hall of Fame Tunnel
One of the venue's signature features is the Gameville Hall of Fame Tunnel—an entrance experience that celebrates athletes, memorable moments, and the community that has helped shape Philippine sports.
Designed as an immersive walkway, the tunnel serves as both a tribute and a destination.
Visitors can explore the stories of athletes and teams that have competed at Gameville while enjoying a unique backdrop for photos and social media content.
Every event begins with a walk through a space that reminds athletes and fans alike that they are part of something bigger than a single game.
Upcoming fan shops
To further enhance the experience, Gameville Central Park is preparing to launch fan shops within the facility.
These retail spaces will allow supporters to purchase official team merchandise, jerseys, event memorabilia, Gameville apparel, and sports essentials—all without leaving the venue.
With TNT now a tenant, expect the team to sell some merchandise there.
The vision is to bring the excitement of professional sporting arenas to community sports by giving fans more ways to support their favorite teams and take home a piece of every event.
Convenient snack bars throughout the venue
Recognizing that fans should never have to miss the action, Gameville Central Park is also expanding its snack bar offerings throughout the venue.
Strategically located near spectator areas, these outlets will provide quick access to refreshments, snacks, and beverages with efficient service that minimizes waiting time and keeps spectators focused on the game.
Convenient access with ample parking
Accessibility is a key part of the Gameville Central Park experience.
Located in the heart of Greenfield District, the venue is surrounded by multiple public parking facilities within easy walking distance, making it convenient for athletes, teams, and spectators to arrive and leave with ease.
Whether attending a local league or a major tournament, visitors have several parking options nearby, helping make game day smoother and more enjoyable.
A weekend destination in Greenfield District
Beyond the sporting events, Gameville Central Park benefits from being part of the vibrant Greenfield District community.
On weekends, visitors can enjoy the district's popular food bazaars and community markets, offering a wide variety of local favorites, specialty food stalls, desserts, and unique finds.
Fans can make an entire day of their visit—watch a game, enjoy great food, explore the weekend market, and spend time with family and friends—all within the same destination.
This unique combination of sports, dining, and community activities transforms Gameville Central Park from a venue into a lifestyle destination.
Every detail is intentional
From organized ticketing and premium viewing areas to quality dining, interactive spaces, retail experiences, convenient parking, weekend food bazaars, and efficient food service, Gameville Central Park is redefining what a community sports venue can be.
The boutique stadium concept isn't simply about constructing a smaller arena.
It's about creating an environment where every detail is intentional, every visitor feels welcomed, and every event delivers an experience worthy of the athletes competing on the court.
At Gameville Central Park, the game is only part of the story.
The destination is the experience itself.
