Описание к видео Perth Entertainment Centre

The Perth Entertainment Centre (originally the Channel 7 Edgley Entertainment Centre) is Western Australia's largest, but now disused 8,200-seat indoor arena, which was opened on December 27, 1974, and played host to many theatrical productions, circuses, corporate functions and the 1979 Miss Universe beauty quest. It was also the home to the Perth Wildcats basketball team from 1991 until 2001, however hasn't been in use since 2002.

The complex was forecast to cost $5 million, but its construction coincided with a period of economic decline, a price-wage spiral and intense industrial action, which led to a cost blow-out. Its construction being two years late and four million dollars over budget, which nearly sent TVW Channel 7 broke.

The Court Liberal State government bailed the station out, by taking ownership and renaming it the Perth Entertainment Centre. The venue is currently owned by the Seven Network.
