Opened in 1995 and with a capacity of 3,000 - 21,000, the Manchester Evening News Arena (or MEN Arena) is a large indoor venue and one of the first in Europe to be built following the traditionally American layout of 360-degree seating. The seating is split into an upper tier (bowl) and a lower tier, separated by 44 hospitality suites. In 2003/2004 it was named "Busiest Arena Venue In The World", based on ticket sales for concerts, against competition from New York's Madison Square Garden and London's Wembley Arena. Barbra Streisand, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Elton John, Genesis, Luciano Pavarotti, Paul McCartney, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Simon & Garfunkel, The Eagles and the Rolling Stones have all performed there. It has also played host to many worldwide comedy acts, sporting events, and occasionally musicals.
