Wembley Arena (originally the Empire Pool and known through sponsorship as The SSE Arena, Wembley) is an indoor arena in Wembley, London, England. It is located next to Wembley Stadium. ==History== It was built for the 1934 British Empire Games, by Arthur Elvin, and originally housed a swimming pool, as reflected by its former name, Empire Pool. The pool itself was last used for the 1948 Summer Olympics. The building is used for music, comedy and family entertainment and for sport. The venue was renovated, along with Wembley Stadium, as part of the early-21st-century regeneration of the Wembley area. The arena refurbishment cost £35m and the new arena opened to the public on 2 April 2006, with a concert by the English electronic-music band Depeche Mode. With 12,500 seats, it is London's second-largest indoor arena after The O2 and third-largest indoor concert venue after the O2 and Earls Court, an exhibition hall which regularly stages concerts. In September 2013, it was announced that AEG Facilities had signed a 15-year contract to operate the arena. On 10 April 2014, it was announced that the arena would be renamed The SSE Arena on 1 June 2014 after SSE plc bought the naming rights to the venue for 10 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wembley Arena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
