The main stadium's architectural design is inspired from the traditional Chinese lantern design.^[4][5] The main indoor arena was planned to have a seating capacity of 13,000. The sports center was scheduled to be opened to the public in 2018.^[6] In February 2018, it was renamed as Suzhou Olympic Sports Center and open to public in June 30.^[7]
