Apologies,as im sure its been answered several times....but is the MEN Arena being fucked off as a result?
Thanks for that Hello City.
I know it’s only an arena and there are much more bigger and more complex buildings around the world, but it always amazes me how architects, engineers and construction companies can get everything to fit to the cm. The roof trusses on to the arena exterior steel frame for example

No, although it took the COOP Live planning permission being given (despite their protests) before they decided to invest money in the MEN Arena after many, many years. They were more pissed off then fucked off.

No, they will be competing venues. M/cr Arena weren't happy bunnies, but have since announced investment to improve facilities. The Arena looks tired now and I suspect Coop Live will be a huge step up in experience. Will be interesting to see how it plays out - Coop Live facilities & capacity vs Arena being in the city centre.
A perfect mixture. Cementing Manchester position as one of the top entertainment cities in the world.

Correct.
ASM Global argued otherwise unsuccessfully. (thankfully)
The city council were never not going to block the Coop Live Arena.
ASM Global just wasted their time and money on a
pointless and unsuccessful campaign.

I know I’m going to get pelters for this but wtf is an ice plant?

Ha, not at all… well not from me anyway, it’s “simply” the equipment to make ice so that they can put on ice shows, hockey etc… The Men arena originally had an ice plant and was home to the “original” Manchester Storm hockey team.

Gassommeters are lethal objects. We, in Boston, had one taken down and the land given to a local primary school: some thirty years later the primary school are still having site tests for lethal minerals such as arsenic.

I recall seeing their promotion materials boasting that ice hockey could feature. Manchester Storm coming back into town? Probably not, but never say never.

Who else thinks that the gas towers near the Etihad should be saved? To me, they are part of Manchester's industrial heritage and also Manchester's Skyline.
I photographed Dr Jenna Ashton, she is heading up a project which will see chunks of the gas holders put in MOSI, library archives etc.
