The Maze Bank Arena is a large sports arena located in La Puerta, Los Santos. It is home of the city's basketball team the Los Santos Panic, and where the auditions for the reality show Fame or Shame are held.

The stadium is presumed to have sold the naming rights to Maze Bank, which also owns the Maze Bank Tower.
