Future West Promotions have moved the final round of the ACU British Supercross Championship to the brand new state of the art The O2 arena nestled inside the huge Millennium Dome in London. Originally planned for Wembley Arena on March 1st the event now moves to The O2 arena on February 23, 2008. The move from the scheduled Wembley Arena comes after a clash with the annual Hawkstone International event after the Hawkstone event changed its date.
"It has been a lot of work to move the date andvenue but The O2 facility is second to none. I was amazed when Ivisited The O2 for the first time. The arena is first class withfeatures we have never seen in an arena. The O2 arena has more seatswhich is a good thing as the last event we held in London back in '99at Earls Court was packed to the rafters with 10,000 plus spectators."says Future West's John Hellam.
The O2 will have approximately the same amount of seats as Earls Court.Outside the arena you will still be under the huge tent which has beentransformed into an entertainment area. Entertainment Avenue,encircling the arena features numerous restaurants and bars plus amulti-plex cinema with 11 screens as well as an exhibition hall whichis hosting the Tutankhamun Pharaoh exhibition. Everything is inside outof the weather under the huge dome. The O2 has its own subway and busstation plus access to central London by boat with acres of parking andeasily accessible from the M25. If that's not enough the whole complexsits right next door to the David Beckham Football Academy.
