Awesome acoustic deffo going again! Very impressed clean and nice layout. Just need more metal bands there!

Jason Plant

View , acoustics and venue itself are top notch. Catering and seating stewards aren't on a par with Manchester or Sheffield Arenas though.

Julia Lea

Fabulous venue. Well done Leeds for finally having a purpose built concert venue . Sound is brilliant

Curt Sallinger

Merrion Centre parking is the place to go - right next door to the arena.

Claudia Ormrod

Lovely arena. Massive! Great for large gatherings.

Fernando Manresa

The acoustic is amazing! The view from level 2 is pretty as swell

Mark De Cosemo

Great new concert venue , designed for performance not sport !

Dave Milne

I’m not normally a fan of arenas, but the half amphitheatre design of this place makes it more like an overgrown city hall . However the rear tier seats are a very long way away!

Phillip Sullivan

Great arena. Amazing view from any seat.

Helen Jayne

Awesome acoustics ... Perfect for gigs definitely go again!!

charles ross

Smaller arena than most; but 15 minute walk from the train station

James Robinson

Told to get there no later than 6:30 otherwise will miss start of show (8pm). Utter rubbish. Once in had to queue again to wait to be allowed to go to seats. Food a rip off £8 one slice pizza & drink!

Millenium Square is gorgeous but the Mandella Garden and fountains just opposite Casa Mia is more my kind of chill out spot - a bit more secluded and a lot prettier. - Tom
