Is the building on these going to be opening as a pub?

I know local residents wont be the priority when it comes to pedestrian traffic movement around the arena area once open (nor should we be!) but I was hopeful that Slade Lane Bridge might open to the public, making our current (blue) walk to the Metrolink - involving a steep dip under that bridge, a dogtail back and a LOT of steps would be replaced by a serene walk up the gentle ramp starting at the red star, then crossing Slade Lane bridge and across the new tarmacc'd "Metrolink Improvement" (in black) - also offering extra capacity for pedestrians from the Arena to the Metro (and step-free access to the Towpath that doesn't involve circumnavigating the entire site), but then I saw how the Bridge thins as it crosses the Metrolink.

I don't think it'll happen.
 
Do any arena ITKs know how many of the bars and restaurants will be ready to open next week? There for Peter Kay on the opening night and will get there early if any of the bars are open

I've been in and the bars are one of the few bits that look almost ready. They were getting a good clean when I was there so can't see an issue withbars not being opened.

The main bars on the street which is, level 0 will be open level 2 is corporate and it's level 4 which I believe won't be open for quite sometime.

There are bars on levels 1 and 3 but the main area is level 0

Do you know if the outside bar is open to match goers/public or is it just for people going to concerts?

Think that's about normal for Arena concert /event parking. Ovo Hydro in Glasgow is £24 I think.

Sorry both, I know they've done their homework, but £90 tickets, £25 parking, ST rises/Matchdays now out of reach for the average family.
just makes me sick to my stomach. It's not even just the co-op. Other venues will be forced to complete by improving facilities and pushing up prices as a result. The price of success eh.

Not 100% but id expect initially no as still lots of work to be done so when no events are on can see it being closed off to crack on with those works but obviously eventually it will. Can't see it happening this season however but could be wrong
 
The wife booked tickets for the Eagles on 31st May for my birthday. Hotel booked in the centre and trams are free so long as you have a ticket…
