Plans for the new Bristol Arena have been recommended for approval. The 12,000-capacity £92 million arena will be located on Arena Island, the former diesel depot site behind Bristol Temple Meads station in the centre of the city.
The 100,000 sq. ft. building will be split over four floors with the main entrance from a plaza to the north, accessed from a new bridge over the River Avon.
Bristol Arena is expected to host over 100 events a year, a mix of music, comedy, family entertainment shows and exhibition events.
Bristol arena is scheduled to open its doors in 2018.
