Las Vegas Sphere coming to boro.

Billingham got the money.

County Durham and Darlington got nothing, despite spending over £1M on bids. The whole system's a corrupt joke.

Plenty of land where the Redcar Arena was going

Absolutely it is, it's why Yarm took the first 'levelling up' slice of the pie.

I would save loads not having to turn the lights on anymore if it goes there.

That would make a great cinema.

It would make a great venue in Middlesbrough full stop.. chronically under used as a venue when it was open.

I wonder how many it could as a concert venue?

 

[BlindBoyGrunt]

I'd like to think I'd go, but probably never get around to it.

It'll be a bit of a ball ache.

More than you would think..

 

[BlindBoyGrunt]

More than you would think..

The ashtrays in front of the seats :D
Seriously though, it was big when it was a single screen cinema and would make a good venue either whole or divided up.
However, the Odeon was in much better condition and they tore it down. It would have made a great O2 academy.

I was saddened the first time I went home and saw the Odeon had been flattened.
For me it was an iconic building and very much part of my childhood.

Absolutely insane that was allowed to happen.. we could have has an O2 Academy on one side of the road and a Manchester Deaf Institute type of venue with the Cleveland Scientific Institute. HOW GOOD WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN!!

Same. Loved the odeon with its red lighting and old school film listings above the entrance
