The Philippine Arena will play host to Game 7 of the PBA Governors’ Cup Finals on Sunday, April 24 in the event Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Meralco need a deciding match to dispute the championship of the season-ending conference. PBA commissioner Willie Marcial earlier had discussions with management of the Philippine Arena and the Mall of Asia Arena, which will now host the delayed sixth game Friday, shortly after the Big Dome blaze. Ginebra, ahead 3-2 in the finals, will try to finish off Meralco and capture a fourth Governors’ Cup crown in the last five editions. If the title series does go to a Game 7, it will mark the second time that the Philippine Arena was tapped as site of a Ginebra-Meralco decider. More than 54,000 fans, which remains a PBA record, showed up back in 2017 when Ginebra beat Meralco to claim the Governors’ Cup title.
