What if the NEC want to put a roof on the bowl and turn it into the biggest indoor arena in the UK?

They are currently spending in the region of £50m to expand Resorts World Arena to make in the biggest indoor arena in the UK.

The problem with the 'put a roof on it and have events' is that there's not that many events that require an indoor arena with a capacity of 40K.

Didn't Simon Jordan make some slightly odd comments about developers being potentially involved and 'moving the stadium across'? I wonder if those stem from some of the interest he might have been aware of when allegedly looking into the possibility of buying the club. It would be a bit of a concern if somebody got hold of the complex and ultimately didn't want the stadium element (which admittedly seems highly unlikely).

That could be the 13m repairs...

That's why it becomes a closing roof rather than permanent.

There's actually quite a few events that could cater for that but they have to be put into fields in the summer.

Things like Boxing events, they are limited to the summer or the Millennium stadium because there is no indoor arena bigger than 24k in this country. Way too small for a Fury v AJ level event.

42k on the other hand under a closing roof at a stadium in the middle of the country...

Think about the cost then have a look at how many such events take place at the Millennium Stadium. How many acts are booked to play multiple nights in Birmingham? Not many and would they prefer one night in Coventry instead of two nights in Birmingham?

At least twice building a stadium at the NEC has been investigated and as far as I'm aware on neither occasion was there any talk of a roof being on it. Just don't see it happening, too much risk for too little reward IMO.

The comments seemed far more suggestive of knocking the thing down and moving it which wouldn't make much sense to me. To be honest there's probably very little to what SJ actually said but it struck as me strange at the time and hasn't yet been explained as far as I can tell.

The NEC are not going to try and turn the Arena into a competitor to their other venues especially given the superiority of access to the NEC in Brum, have a think about it.

Who’s been winding up the Bondholders on their forum?



Some cruel b*gger has implied they won’t get a minimum £35m (or whatever) to clear the bar so that they can get their money back.

Cruel. Maybe true - no idea atm but cruel all the same

If it is a troll from here, having the username
“pusb” isn’t the most subtle choice.

No exactly - they’d use synergy and it makes sense. The place needs experts running it

I was hoping we'd have heard something by now but it'll all make sense when the Sports Direct branding is everywhere in the ground, the Wasps badge covered up with a big Slazenger logo.

Fecking phone.
5 minutes ago, up pops a tweet from Gilbert 'Good News!'
When phone finally showed me the detail, it was from 23hours ago telling me that the Blackburn game is on at the CBS.
Time for a phone upgrade.......ggrrrrrrrr
