Tjr model shows what the internal layout of the Coop Live Arena will look like. Think it's the first time we've seen the Coop Live Arena model split in half showing the internal layout of the arena? (23,500 capacity)

Had an amazing afternoon at the Coop Live HQ, getting pumped up to see the plans for the BIG VENUE launch late 2023. I’m so thrilled that our team is playing an integral role in building the food offer in what will be a one-of-a-kind arena in the UK. The immersive “tour” was so impressive. I can’t wait to visit when it’s built….watch this space.

Is there any talk of using the arena on match days for drinks and food etc.

At an event for co-op life tonight. Summer party.

Just spoke to City as well and corporate sales best ever and North stand will allow more corporate to pay for the spend. New corporate section in the east stand this season with self serving pints.

Does the North Stand corporate comment mean it will be a replica of the South Stand? Corporate area in the middle tier as per the legends lounge at the other end maybe.

Believe the food and drink outlets will be open on a daily basis

you're correct, the plan would be that the Foyer could be used pre-match with bars / food outlets open

It’s been stated that the Atrium will be available to City fans on match day.

The Atrium has a 4000 capacity so would be a great pre match venue. This could help if City Square is closed during Nortj Stand development.

Will be interesting to see what the future plans are for City Square. In my opinion they should knock it down - incorporate the shop in the new Northstand and use the Arena facility

Was at the stadium for the tour yesterday so got some staff gossip. They said City square and perhaps the shop will go and be incorporated with the new North Stand which may be linked to the arena to make an indoor food and drinks set-up. That was in addition to the arena foyer. This will happen in stages over a few years. Just gossip but from two different people. The tour was superb.
