An explosion rocked the UK on Monday night leaving at least 22 people dead and over 50 people injured. The explosion happened at the end of a concert by Ariana Grande which held at the Manchester Arena, England.
Since
it's opening in July 1995, the Manchester Arena has welcomed acts like
U2, Lady Gaga, and the Rolling Stones for concerts.
It boasts of over
one million visitors per year. The venue has the highest seating
capacity of any indoor venue in the United Kingdom, and the second
largest in the European Union with a capacity of 21,000 and is one of
the world's busiest indoor arenas, hosting music and sporting events
such as boxing and swimming.
Manchester
Arena was named "International Venue Of The Year" in 2002 in the
'Pollstar' awards, and was nominated in the same category in 2002, 2003,
2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The arena was named "Busiest
Arena Venue In The World", based on ticket sales for concerts in 2003,
2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 ahead of other indoor arenas including the
Madison Square Garden and Wembley Arena.
The
arena was the 'World's Busiest Arena' from 2001 until 2007 based on
ticket sales for concerts, attracting five and a half million customers.
It was voted 'Europe's Favourite Arena' at the TPi Awards in 2008 by
the touring companies that bring the shows to the venue.
In
2008, the arena was world's third busiest arena behind London's The O2
arena and New York's Madison Square Garden. In 2009, it was the world's
second busiest arena behind London's The O2 and ahead of Antwerp's
Sportpaleis and Madison Square Garden.
The arena hosts over 250 events annually including comedy, live music and tours, sporting events, and occasionally musicals.

Muslims all over the Uk are speaking out against terrorism in unity and supporting the conservative government even though everyone has their differences but everyone wants to work together for the safety and security of the general populace.whilst in Nigeria, an ex governor, Z lister actors, and illiterate peasants and commoners are visiting and Bowing down to a greedy conniving greedy terrorist Kanu,, says a lot about these people.
If d arena is ds popular,y is d security nt tight enough to avert ds horrendous cowardice attack?? Uk police shud be blamed! Atleast dia shud be a special police force stationed permanently at ds great arena.
