 The Manchester Evening News Arena, Manchester Storm
The Manchester Evening News Arena, home of the Manchester Storm who hit the ice for the very first time in 1995/1996 and were immedeatly included in the then-new Superleague in 1996, seats 17.250 fans and doesn´t have to shy away from any comparisons to other top-venues across the continent or even across the Atlantic Ocean.
Due to the fact that the arena has been put right into downtown Manchester the constructors didn´t have a whole lot of real estate to work with, if you´re scared of heights I would strongly recommend tickets in the lower bowl as the construction of the arena itself is very (very very) steep.
The Manchester Evening News Arena is situated on the A56, 3 miles from junction 17 on the M62

Because you do exactly what it says on your tin, this is quality hip hop and even though your street cred may have slipped a little with the Kelly Rowland's thing, you are still the rapper boy from St Louis, who understands his homies and talks the language of da boyz.

One track went smoothly into the next and even on the odd occasion when the backing track vocals were louder than the man himself, I was wanting more of the real Nelly and less of the commercial.

Even Mulletboy in front of me punches the air, jumps up and down horrendously out of time, claps along at all the wrong moments, and sings incredibly off-key.
After this unifying moment, the rest of the evening is sort of a letdown, with a thoroughly morbid Wake Up Dead Man, and the actually greatly misplaced Walk On, which, whilst ending the set on a positive note, seems more suitable for first song of the encore time than the grand finale.
