Olympics where is north greenwich arena

It's a multi-purpose indoor arena situated at the center of The O2, a large entertainment complex on the Greenwich peninsula in London, England. It has capacity of up to 20, depending up on the event; it is the second largest arena in the UK after Manchester Arena and one of the largest in Europe. The construction of the arena started in the year and was completed by As it was impossible to use cranes inside the dome structure, arena's roof was first constructed on the ground within the dome and later lifted.

This time, London organisers insisted, it would be different. Such was the nation's passion for sport that they would fill every venue with noisy, enthusiastic fans who would create a welcome for the world and roar homegrown athletes home to victory. Indeed, they boasted that a "fans in front" policy would ensure that every session in every venue rocked to a vibrant atmosphere. They were right about the enthusiasm for sport, but appear to have come undone on day 1 in dealing with one of the problems that habitually bedevils Olympic organisers.

Namely how to deal with the sometimes dysfunctional "Olympic family". The problem was perhaps most noticeable in the North Greenwich Arena, where gymnastics fans have scrapped for months to get a ticket only to turn on their television and see Louis Smith and his team-mates competing in front of empty blue seats. But it was repeated at the volleyball at Earls Court, the tennis at Wimbledon, the beach volleyball at Horse Guards Parade, the dressage at Greenwich Park and even for the swimming heats at the Aquatics Centre.

At each there were hundreds of empty seats.
