Ricoh Arena

Costing £113 million, the Ricoh Arena is one of the UK's top entertainment, sports and business venues.

The 32,000 capacity all-seater stadium covers a 72.5 acre site and since its opening, has held two 40,000 capacity open air concerts (Bon Jovi and Red Hot Chilli Peppers).

It features an indoor 6,000 square metre exhibition and concert hall perfect for trade shows, conferences and rock concerts (such as with Beverley Knight in March 2007), with capacity for 8,000 spectators.

Soon to be the home of the Isle of Capri's flagship casino, one of the finest outside the US and 'complete' entertainment centre, the multi-purpose complex also houses a bistro and a 70 bedroom hotel.

The Arena was awarded Confex 2006 Venue of the Year Award - in its first year of operation.
