15-year naming rights deal agreed for Manchester’s second arena
The Co-op is to put its name to Manchester's planned second arena in a 15-year deal.
Oak View Group has agreed the naming rights deal for its £350m venue that will be built next to the Etihad Stadium.
The arena, which will be known as Co-op Live, received planning permission last week and will become the UK's largest indoor arena. The 23,500-capacity venue is scheduled to open in 2023.
The development promises to create 3,350 construction jobs, starting from November, and 1,000 jobs at the arena when it is open.
