Atlas Arena is a pyramid stadium in Caprica City.
Overview[]
Atlas Arena is the home field of the Caprica Buccaneers pyramid team. The arena was named for Atlas, one of the Lords of Kobol. Giant statues of Atlas stand at each end of the arena.
Daniel Graystone, owner of the Buccaneers, has a private box and courtside seats. Steve Bahara and Abasi Lowe are the sports commentators at the Buccaneers games. ("Pilot") ("Rebirth")
Daniel brought Joseph and William Adama to a pyramid game several weeks after the MAGLEV bombing. He introduced the Adamas to Rod Jenkins, the star player of the team. ("Pilot")
Daniel and Amanda Graystone attended opening ceremonies for a C-Bucs game, but Amanda left after the Caprican National Anthem. It had been only one month since the MAGLEV bombing and it was too soon for Amanda to enjoy a public event. ("Rebirth")
In the News[]
Atlas Arena was the site of an attempted terrorist bombing instigated by the monotheist terrorist group, Soldiers of the One. Clarice Willow and her husbands, Nestor and Olaf Willow, were the masterminds behind this plot. On the day of the Caprica Buccaneers Delphi Legion game, Daniel and Amanda Graystone subdued the television camerman, then thwarted the terrorist attempt by deploying military planes with U-87 robots to descend onto the playing field. The robots eliminated every STO martyr with only minimal damage to the arena. ("Apotheosis")
Virtual World[]
There is a version of Atlas Arena in New Cap City. Several gamers took their revenge on Zoe for their loved ones who were lost in the MAGLEV bombing. Then Zoe and Tamara engaged in combat to the cheers of the crowd. ("Things We Lock Away")
