Arena semantics here and I have worked in quite a few venues over the past 10 years, but I think there will be a decent spilt between them and both venues will survive, acts playing at the current Arena normally sign a contract to do the ASM venues so will do a combination of Leeds, Newcastle, Hull, Wembley Arena, Hydro and then add on other venues if needed,
The Co-Op will draw a lot of stand alone and one off events both venues and will get events that wouldn't be possible at the other venue (Horse show anyone?)
I think Manchester Central (G-MEX) will feel a hit too in the years to come, especially if/ when a hotel is built on site as the floor footprint and designed bar lay out would make it perfect for conferences.

The Co-Op Live is specifically designed to be the best live music venue on the continent. It won’t be long before the biggest and best stars are performing there over the old arena.

Been in hospitality at Spurs couple of times. Good range of beers in real pint pots and cheaper than most places in Manchester city centre

I went to the NFL where they charged £7 a pint for Budweiser (due to NFL licencing deals).
However I believe that on a normal match day for Spurs fans, Pints are £4 and the bars are open before and after the game. They even have an onsite brewery for Beavertown as I was drinking Gamma Ray. It was served quickly and in plastic pint pots.
The local bars are livid as thousands of fans stay on for food and drink after the game before travelling home.
It's night and day between the experience at Spuds and the Etihad, we have a good stadium but it needs a serious revamp to provide a better matchday experience.

I somehow doubt that its £3m profit more like that's turnover

An extra 500 capacity means nothing in the bigger picture. ASM have no way of making a decent music venue other than demolishing it and starting again.
They will still get gigs as mentioned above due to the arrangements with tours including other ASM venues - however they will suffer the same shit facilities the AO has had for years.

Slightly off topic.
A new entertainment venue for before and after the match.
City are facing a lot of competition on their doorstep in and around the NQ, Ancoats, and New Islington.
It will be interesting to see whether people stay on at the Coop Live Arena for drinks and food after the acts and events are over, or if they head back into town?
Hospitality company Very Inc has lodged a planning application to create a 3,000-capacity venue, featuring a beer hall and night market, at the former Presbar Diecasting Foundry on Store Street.
