Capacity

ConfigurationCapacity
Maximum (official — arena floor + all stands)12,141
All-seated (typical — arena floor seated)~10,057

The official site states a maximum of 12,141 without publishing a seated/standing split. A floor-by-floor breakdown reported by ticket-industry site ticket.co.jp — 1F arena floor: 3,980 seated or 6,064 standing; 2F stand: 3,150; 3F stand: 1,680; 4F stand: 1,247 (including a 44-seat VIP suite area) — sums to exactly 12,141 when the arena floor is standing, and to about 10,057 when it's all-seated, matching the official total and Japanese Wikipedia's description of the venue as "roughly 10,000-scale" for seated shows. This per-floor breakdown is not itself published as text on the official site, so treat the exact per-floor numbers as ticket.co.jp's reporting rather than a figure PIA Arena MM states directly — the arithmetic match to the official 12,141 is strong corroboration, but not a primary-source confirmation.

PIA Arena MM opened on July 10, 2020 (construction ran December 2017 to March 2020; the public opening was delayed to July because of the COVID-19 pandemic). The building has a basement level plus 4 floors above ground, on a 12,000.00 m² site with 23,139.81 m² of total floor area.
