Anorthernsoul 1222 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Will it happen? https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/contractors/sir-robert-mcalpine/sir-robert-mcalpine-wins-260m-gateshead-arena-27-11-2019/?fbclid=IwAR2pHKUVkKqbk1Om0zFTyS7zvp5aODO_ENVW0xXHOITfuliJK-aaKzLW53c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 8153 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Definitely happening. My wife provides medical cover at the arena and their setup is dangerously below par apparently. They refuse to upgrade anything though because the arena will be closed down once the new one is opened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1222 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) The Utilita Arena is a right shithole now mind so it is no surprise. Edited November 28, 2019 by Anorthernsoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 20256 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I wouldn't have thought there would be enough land between the sage & the Baltic for a modern arena... I expect wykiki is all over this fucker too 😬 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 47264 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 There’s a large empty plot, plenty of room for a 12,5000 seater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 15487 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Finally. A new arena so the Stereophonics and WWE can't be double booked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 39003 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The very few times I've been in the arena it's felt utterly soulless and that's going back to when it was fairly new. It almost mirrored the change from football grounds with their own identities to some of the identikit stadiums that sprang up around the same time as the arena. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubiSimth 0 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Definitely taking place. My wife provides medical coverage at the arena, and it appears that their setup is dangerously subpar. However, they refuse to make any upgrades because the old arena will be shut down once the new one opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
