It is infact the first ever stadium dedicated purely for eSports, the CGS had a TV studio that was part of the Sony studios in LA and was used for CGS during each season, it was not designed for spectators and the "crowd" were mostly a paid crowd. There are no stadiums which are purely for eSports events in S.Korea either, although they have had events with thousands of spectators run in huge stadiums they are no venues which were designed exclusively for eSports events, until now ;)
