New Arena

Worth noting here that a 3000 seat venue would be comfortably more than the academy (1800) and Colston Hall (1900) for concerts. Removable seating should nudge that nearer 4000 which would be comparable to Plymouth Pavillions size. That venue hosted Liam Gallagher last night to give an idea of artist calibre it could attract.

With the cost overrun of Bristol arena, the council will be well behind this as long as none of them are dog walkers...

can't see that being much of a problem as it's on land we already own, and the training ground part has already been agreed a year or 2 ago as part of the village green settlement

Saw Morrissey in Plymouth a few years ago. Decent size venue.

There must  be a suitably sized car park as part of this development though. 

Bet @Davefevs is excited about a proper arena for the Flyers!

1000 multi story I’m led to believe

That land is nether the clubs nore Bristol Sport's, It's steven Lansdowns and he can do anything he wishes with it, it's not as if he'll get planning permission for it

The above is your own post in another thread.

Fair play SL, great move, but this isn’t an excuse to ditch the arena. 3k is nowhere near large enough a concert venue for what this city needs

Cardiff is only a 5000 seater,

3000 is seating only it will prob be 5000 standing

In a nutshell. A 3/4k multi-purpose venue means we compete with the likes of Plymouth whereas we need to be punching up there with the likes of Newcastle, Leeds, Glasgow......well, every other major city in the UK that realised the economic benefits of arenas 20 years ago!  

What SL's plan should be doing is pushing the incompetent major into action on the arena, not giving him a "get-out" ticket.
