You may have a valid point. It probably won't win any architectual awards. But internally, where it really matters, it will be one of the best, if not the best arena in the world. And to artists, concert, and event goers, that will be more important than the external apperance of the arena.

Co-op Live - Populous

Oak View Group’s ambition to introduce a new breed of world-class venue, one that draws together the cutting-edge use of technology, sustainability and multifunctionality, is encapsulated within Co-op Live, in Manchester, U.K. The state-of-the-art venue will enable Manchester to host more...

gonna be strange if they get events on a matchday: 23,500
and the Velodrome (refurbished) reopens soon with increased capacity.
And, what happens if Asda reduce the price of milk?'

"67 minutes have gone here at the Etihad... as have the crowd... to beat the Biber concert traffic."

The more I look, the more I think Co-op Live will enhance Manchester. I read that it can have seats retracted back for ice hockey. Bring Manchester Storm home.

• Co-op Live 23500
• MSG Sphere London 21,500
• Manchester Arena 21000
• The O2 Arena 20,000
• Earls Court 20,000
• Bristol Arena 17,000
• P&J Live (16,000)
• Utilita Arena Birmingham 15,800

No sign of Liverpool.

Very true and that’s why Leeds Arena is a fine venue too.

Don't know why but I expected some sort of exterior cladding. Won't the sound escape through all that steelwork? What about the Manchester weather? It'll be arctic in winter.

Bring an umbrella, it’ll be fine.

Hopefully it will be as good an experience for punters as it looks in those pics. The Manchester Arena is utter fucking shite when it comes to customer friendliness. It's harder getting a friggin' pint than it is at City at half-time. And not much easier going for a piss either.

I'm glad the cunts over at the Manchester Arena are spewing over this. The mard twats can't hack a bit of competition. Well tough shit - up your fucking game and you might just be able to compete. Somehow I doubt it though. I can see Co-op Live smashing it out of the park.

It will be pretty hard for Co-op to fail, with the bar being that low + having a good team behind with also Live Nation. Speaking of getting a pint maybe the club should implement the system Spurs have in their stadium?
