'''Apollonio Stadium''' (Stadio Apollonio) is a sports venue located in [[Cortina d'Ampezzo]], [[Italy]]. As the "Romano and Armando Apollonio Stadium", it was used as a subsidiary rink to the [[Stadio Olimpico Del Ghiaccio|Olympic Ice Stadium]] to host some of the [[1956 Winter Olympics|ice hockey]] events for the [[1956 Winter Olympics]]. <ref name="Apollonio">{{cite web|title=Cortina 1956 Olympic Winter Games Report - (PDF) page 131|url=http://library.la84.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1956/orw1956.pdf|publisher=la84.org|accessdate=December 4, 2013}}</ref>

The rink was originally 47 m x 85 m, but was increased to 62.5 m x 85 m in order to accommodate two rinks for two competitions to be played at the same time. Originally seated for 1,000 spectators, it was expanded to 2,000 for the games. Today, the venue is primarily used for tennis. <ref>{{cite web|title=Campi da Tennis A.R.
