Heed Arena

Sunderland should have built one YEARS ago , yet more revenue/tourism going to Newcastle/Gateshead, because lets be honest Gateshead's gain is Newcastle's gain.

Seems a bit silly squeezing it inbetween.

The sage and baltic will lose something.

I heard it on the radio earlier and that's what I thought to be honest. Can't remember the space in between being that big but I might be wrong.

Isnt the space the car park for the Baltic and the Gateshead quayside?

It's been on the cards for about 10 years now. The arena was built on the cheap and it shows

Newcastle Arena was always going to struggle with Leeds arena opening . Might help having a refresh and it not being a shit hole.

 

[The Butcher]

Win win for newcastle, they'll be able to expand their city even more now, ching ching. Closer for us too.

 

[citybythesea]

Its not something I'm bothered about

 

[PTR]

The arena is bloody awful mind. Hopefully they'll build something fit for purpose.

 

[Stubbs ftm]

Arena gigs are shit. We'll have 2 new venues open soon with the fire station and beacon.

Whilst I'm more than happy with this being in Gateshead, it definitely looks like something Sunderland should be pushing to get!
