A state of the art10,000-seat arena – similar in scale to the Echo Arena Liverpool – is the centrepiece of a grand new vision to redevelop Southampton’s Royal Pier and Mayflower Park. International A-list music acts, indoor sport events and temporary exhibitions could all be hosted at the stunning waterfront venue. A convention centre, casino and observation tower with views over the docks could also be incorporated in the new masterplan, which won’t be unveiled to the public until the Southampton Boat Show in September.
Under early plans presented to Southampton City Council, the arena will be at the heart of a development that could also feature restaurants, shops and some housing.
“We are not going to be a Wembley Arena or The O2, but we could realistically attract an audience of eight, nine or ten thousand given the right events.”
The plans are being drawn up by Scottish-based developers Kilmartin, who were last July awarded an 18-month exclusivity contract to create a masterplan for the waterfront around Royal Pier and Mayflower Park.
