I don't think there's one anywhere. Having said that, it seems pretty similar to me to the triple-stacked boxes at Staples Center. And also, if could revolutionize arena design, the risk of not doing it might be higher than that of going for it. As long as due diligence is done, I think the risk of a critical flaw is negligible. So the worst that might plausibly happen is cost overruns - vs. build a traditional arena and have something that's outclassed for the next 35 years.
