Rumoured new Manchester Arena

[worsleyweb]

There is going to be an arena built which is in a different league to our current arena in town. It will be just past the Bank of England pub on the left hand side going towards the stadium.

27,000 capacity.

KFC/Macdonalds!! God I hope not. Be like some second rate OOT shopping centre. We have to be looking for better than that. Would only be open matchday anyway until rest of campus decided. City should make the money not some low end crap peddler.

Agree with this. Ideally food and drink vendors wouldn’t be big corporates but local businesses instead in a sort of Northwrn Quarter pubs better than weather spoons/walkabout/identikit chain bar vibe

Let’s face it, we are ok enough financially to give back to the city. Match day revenue is dwarfed by things like the tv deal

Built by City as part of the campus or someone else?

He said the arena is going to be in a different league to the existing one in town so I'm guessing it will be for indoor events.

Sounds fantastic anyway.

An arena floor might be a bit small for a rugby match unless there doing little league! :)

Having said that, maybe it will be more of a stadium and we’ll play there while we build the new ground. ;)
