Sports and Entertainment Stadium

possibly to be built at

 Leith Docks or Edinburgh Waterfront

Edinburgh City Council leaders announced on 13 September 03 a feasibility study had been commissioned.  It will look into the possibility of a major combined sports complex and concert arena.

Such a complex could, perhaps, be built:

-  near the Ocean Terminal shopping centre at Leith Docks (where the MTV Awards Ceremony is to be held in November 03) OR

-  at Edinburgh Waterfront, an area being redeveloped to the west of Granton Harbour (where more than 9,000 new houses are to be built over the next seven years).

Such a stadium could replace the ageing Meadowbank Stadium at London Road, built for the 1970 Commonwealth Games.
