Construction of the Middleton Arena was completed in December 2008 and the Arena officially opened for business on 4th January 2009. It has been built on Corporation Street on the site formerly occupied by the Hippodrome Nightclub (previously The Empire Cinema) and the old civic amenity site. To make way for construction the Hippodrome was levelled in August 2007. The Arena is managed by Link4Life, the Rochdale Borough-wide Cultural Trust. http://www.thisismiddleton.co.uk/regeneration.htm
