Not sure what you are are seeing here ? Leeds Arena like every other Arena in the UK looks crap, and is a terrible one sided venue for music.
The Co-op looks decent but the real iconic part is going to be on the inside which will be totally unique in this country.

I love it. And there's a Wetherspoons next door!

Ahh, you're on the wum. You shouldn't have mentioned Weatherspoons, you had me going with that blob on the landscape that you claimed to love.

The digital halo of the new arena is difficult to show in design pics. That will distract from any additional design on the exterior and will make it far more impressive visually.
I also think they like the strap line ‘Black Box Bowl’ which fits with both the exterior design and the interior plan of a low ceiling and darkness for atmosphere.

yeah is closed at the start of April, all marquees have gone, the issue they have is there is currently nowhere for them to move the containers to, but it should be gone by the end of the season so all car parks are open for the concerts.Could be wrong?
Think the Covid testing centre on the back car park is going?

Looks like they will have stage in the middle to limit the distance from the worst seats to the stage. Should cut that distance significantly. Similar concept to Leeds, however retaining the arenas flexibility to have an MEN style set up. Looks very good inside

At the moment yes. I've put a bit of weight on recently. :-)
Still should be able to squeeze into a large new City shirt.

I personally think Leeds Arena is not that great for gigs ( and have been to lots of gigs there ). The standing capacity there far too small for an Arena.
The Co-op is going to be a game changer for venues in this country.
What has also amused me is that all the posturing from ASM during planning about Manchester not being big enough to support 2 x Arenas ( which was supported by both The Times and the MEN ) yet now they are investing £50m in the AO. What a turn up !
