The cladding is still there, but unfortunately it is facing the wrong way for a photo.

SmartCity · February 12th, 2012, 07:59 PM

Is there any word as to what's going to be the opening act?

No worries mate, thanks anyway

Suburban Knight · February 13th, 2012, 11:18 AM

Will the cladding resemble the cladding on the Carnegie Pavillion at the cricket ground when viewed close up?

di Livio · February 13th, 2012, 11:30 AM

It wouldn't surprise me if the concrete cladding is the main cladding.

beaky · February 13th, 2012, 01:03 PM

i wouldn't mind if the concrete panels were the end finish, i think it looks kinda cool. but more likely it will look like the cricket ground

Lad 2011 · February 13th, 2012, 06:22 PM

Will it heck be the main cladding... and yes it will look very similar Carnegie Pavillion

Your lack of enthusiasm for anything Leeds sometimes makes me think you are a Manc in a Loiners disguise!!

Aaronj09 · February 13th, 2012, 09:22 PM

I think the concrete looks good! Let's keep it!

It looks brutal...

Leeds No.1 · February 14th, 2012, 12:17 AM

The curved bits look okay, but everything else... no thanks. Why would you want more concrete, especially in this part of the city?!

it's concrete, but in a brutally good way. no crappy pebble dash like woodhouse carpark. i could be proved wrong but i think the green cladding looks cheap, the carnegie certainly does. a slate grey arena would become iconic, stick on some green clad? not for me
