Neal S. Blaisdell Center
777 Ward Ave
Honolulu, HI 96814
Opened: September 12, 1964
The Neal S. Blaisdell Center is a community center near downtown Honolulu, Hawaii. The complex has a multi-purpose arena, concert hall, exhibition hall, galleria, meeting rooms, Waikiki Shell and others.

Constructed in 1964 on the historic Ward Estate and originally called the Honolulu International Center, the center was renamed after Mayor of Honolulu Neal S. Blaisdell, who oversaw its construction. It was remodeled and expanded in 1994. The complex is overseen by the City's Department of Enterprise Services, which also oversees the Waikiki Shell. As of 2019, the city is seeking to redevelop the site with extensive stakeholder and public involvement to assess the community's goals.

The Neal S. Blaisdell Arena is a circular performance facility used for concerts and major sporting events. The arena can accommodate 7,700 seats for sports events, and up to 8,800 seats for stage events with seats set up on the arena floor.

It served as the home court for University of Hawai'i at Manoa basketball until UH built the Stan Sheriff Center on campus in 1994.

In 1982, the arena served as home court for Chaminade University in a Christmas Eve upset of a Ralph Sampson led number one ranked University of Virginia, 77-72.
