Previously known as the Nynex Arena, Europe's largest multi-purpose indoor entertainment and sport facility first opened in September 1995 when a UK box office record created by the popularity of ice dance supremos Torvill and Dean. Now the 21,000 capacity MEN Arena is home to both the Manchester Giants basketball team and ice hockey's Manchester Storm. In addition, the arena regularly plays host to some of the biggest names in music and showbiz such as Tom Jones and Robbie Williams. There are also good disabled facilities as well as a fully licensed café-bar and a restaurant on site.
