Guest Cool Thinker Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Word is that the council are planning to build a really big arena to replace AECC so they could get bigger acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 They should build it on the UTG site. Everyone'll win.xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I don't see the point in this, the council have to keep bailing the AECC out as they can't meet loan repayments, they see the SECC getting their nice new shiny arena and want some of it.

Chris Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've given up going to see anything at the AECC. It's just a terrible experience. Making it bigger won't help that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've given up going to see anything at the AECC. It's just a terrible experience. Making it bigger won't help that.Couldn't agree more. My best gig experiences have been at smaller more intimate venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 More than likely they won't play the AECC because it's too far out of the way of Glasgow. It's good they are looking at the situation, but the best way to get really big names to play in Aberdeen is to build the new dons stadium, then you can have the big tours like RHCP, Madonna and Bruce Springsteen.The SECC can build their arena as they normally have something on every night either in the halls or the Armadillo, Aberdeen struggles to fill Drummonds and the Tunnels on a nightly basis, gigs every night would start off being a novelty, but end up dying on its arse and the bands wouldn't come back due to poor sales and playing to a empty hanger.

They will end up with a empty stadium does not matter who is playing because population is too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Another genius idea from the people who brought you Union Square. Aberdeen doesn't have the road infrastructure for a fucking burger van, let alone a "giant stadium".I mean what kind of fucking psychopaths decided to build a new shopping centre right next to the ludicrously congested hoors abortion of a road that is Market Street?

Stroopy121 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Unnghh. I'm on the fence there with the Onion Square debate. From a pedestrian point of view it couldn't really be much better. The parking is ample and affordable and as Phil says its nearly always steering. It's also forced Bon Accord to up it's game a bit since Onion Square is pinching all it's trade. Our congested city centre is a fucking arse of a thing but I blame the road layout round from Private Eyes to the Moorings and that whole, awful wee one way bit. The whole area just can't cope with the traffic flow at rush hour. We should be investing this fantasy £20m in some kind of teleportation unit. Or maybe a big road round the city which could remove the need for commuters to go anywhere near Union/Market St.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
