The Manchester Arena, currently known as AO Arena, is an indoor arena in Manchester, England, with a seating capacity of 21,000, making it one of the busiest and largest indoor arenas in the world. It has hosted various events, including music concerts, sporting events, and the 2002 Commonwealth Games, but was temporarily closed after a terror attack in 2017 and reopened with a benefit concert. The arena was designed by DLA Ellerbe Beckett, Ove Arup & Partners, and Austin-Smith:Lord and opened in 1995 with a unique 360-degree seating layout. A three-year £50 million re-development began in 2022, increasing its capacity to 24,000 and adding new public entrances and lounges.learn more on wikipedia
