Façade lighting[]

The façade of the Coca-Cola Arena has an active lit façade lighting system[8] made up of 4,600 LED's[9] meaning the building can be lit up in an array of patterns and colours. The arena is traditionally lit up in red to represent the name of the arena.

Bowl seating modes[]

Coca-Cola Arena can accommodate up to 17,000 people[10] and be arranged in an array of different seating and viewing modes including end-stage, in-the-round and intimate mode. This means it can host everything from large-scale music concerts to intimate shows and gala dinner evenings.[11] The main bowl features four levels. Levels one and four are made up of fixed seating while levels two and three consist of two levels of hospitality suites. An extra tier of seating can be added thanks to the automated retractable seating on the bowl floor allowing the arena layout to be changed as per the scale of the event no matter how small or large. A dine and view viewing terrace is also positioned at the stage end of the arena on level three and can be used for premium packages and after-show parties.
