THE COMPANY BEHIND the Sphere in Las Vegas, Yankee Stadium in New York and the Aviva Stadium has released computer-generated images showing the design of a planned events arena in Cherrywood in south Dublin.
The Prime Arena is intended to be the home of a professional ice hockey team and will also be used for a variety of other events, including concerts and other winter sports.
The building is being designed by Populous, a sports and entertainment architecture firm from the United States.

The building will have two Olympic-sized ice rinks and an 8,000-capacity arena, expandable to 10,500 for major events and concerts.
The development is projected to attract over 1.5 million visitors annually, Prime Arena Holdings said, although a planning application has yet to be submitted.
