It's a box. But an exciting box.

I do love overhangs on a building.

Where's the helipad ?

Could be wrong?

Think the Covid testing centre on the back car park is going?

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.

It’s not great.

Internally is even worse.

Leeds is great for gigs. Like a roman amphitheater, much better than a rectangle. However not as flexible a venue obviously…

Yes think they've definitely missed a trick with the external design. Leeds FD Arena has become a landmark. View attachment 42015

WTF is that!!! looks like the grill off one of those horrid hyundai thingummies!

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

Amsterdam Arena next to the new Ajax stadium is very similar.

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 !
