Generally I thought arenas are considered to be covered and stadiums open air.

Then by that definition.. there's countless other examples just in the US that are FAR bigger than that place.
Georgia Dome, Super Dome, etc.

That cost $213 million.
I saw a Vice documentary about poverty stricken Filipinos living in a cemetery recently, really shocked me. The money for that stadium could probably house and feed thousands of people.

Apparently it's about the kind of sports they're used for. Arenas are for typical indoor sports like ice hockey, while a stadium is for typical outdoor sports like football.
When I think about it, it might also just be that a stadium has a grass surface while an arena doesn't.

Then my point about places like the Georgia Dome or the Super Dome would still stand, they have a concrete base.
While they apparently created the structure for their upcoming anniversary, they said that they will let other events such as sports, concerts, etc... take place there. So no it will not act merely as a church.
It's the largest "domed" arena, so I guess that means it's not open air.
Isn't this the World Cup stadium in Salvador?When it was still under construction:
Oops you're right. Pic removed in op.
Arenas are indoor and generally have a capacity of up to 20000, while stadiums have a capacity of over 30000 up to 100000.

49ers new stadium cost a billion.
I saw a documentary about poverty and homelessness in San Francisco. The money for that stadium could probably house and feed thousands of people
INC are the Mormons of the Philippines in a county that's predominantly Catholic.
Their yearly anniversaries are always legendary in their scale and effectively render several major highways unpassable with the sheer number of attendees. Everyone is invited (even non church-members) and there are several tons of food served, as well as free medical and dental checkups and onsite-treatments, and no one is turned away. It's actually great for Metro Manila that they have this dedicated venue and that traffic can hopefully be managed better (well maybe not this year, but maybe they can learn from it now to apply for future years).

Wiki says arena vs stadium is either enclosed vs open air or based on what sports are played inside

An arena from my understanding cant have a retractable roof, and must always be enclosed. So I guess thats how it wins the title.

So, once again, that would include your domed stadiums in that listing.
I really can't see any difference between an arena and a domed stadium.
There's countless domes that have a seating capacity almost double what that place does.

But those are mostly football stadiums
What about the old Chicago Stadium where the Blackhawks and Bulls played.......was it an arena or a stadium
