It is preferable to the basket ball arenas, and the bigger the arena the worse the seats get and everything else.

Agreed. Much better seeing bands in smaller venues although difficult when they make it. Saw Oasis in the Apollo 2001, Prince @ the academy in 2014 and they were epic gigs!!

Yoc can make out the next roof truss ready to go up.

Good work @jrb

Today

More of the sleek black exterior cladding as gone on. I think it looks great. And it will look even better with the moving LED screens above it.

In this photo could they not make the outdoor seating area bigger as a lot of fans will sit here before games

Only if they built it on pontoons.

Didn’t realise how high it was but you can see the top of the scaffolding from the back of SS L3

The front looks good to me.

Went to the first ever concert at Leeds arena to see springsteen and e Street band. By far best arena I have ever been to in the UK.

Yep. The worse seat at leeds is probably a third of the distance away from the stage, as the worst seat at the MEN…!!

Asahi is as good as it gets for stadium lager. Price is very similar to what we're expected to pay in Town now.

Amstel for me please

8500 Seat basketball sounds good. I wish we took basketball more seriously in this country. It's an exciting sport!

Barça have a basketball department and a few others do. Real, Bayern, Monaco, Sporting, Benfica, Porto, Fenerbahçe, Olympiakos, Panathinaikos, Partizan Belgrade, and Red Star Belgrade all compete with them in the top-flight EuroLeague.

The sport isn’t as big as football in Spain, Germany, France, Portugal, etc but those clubs feel it’s worthwhile to compete in.

It will bring in a chunk of revenue for those clubs, just as the diversification around the Etihad with hotel, restaurant and shopping complex will do. CFG also owns shares in the Goals cage footie business

Why not add a basketball team to the ever-growing CFG monolith?
