Silvio Dante Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
