    Just a quick note that the University Concert hall has being booked in principle for the 2nd Febuary 2008 for Andy Lee's first fight in Limerick as a pro.

    No opponent has been confirmed as of yet, but it looks like it will be a defence of the Irish Supermiddleweight title.

    The lad has been good to his word about wanting his first Irish fight of 2008 to be held in Limerick, and it would be great for the people of Limerick to snap up tickets as soon as they go on sale and give him a roasing response when he heads for the ring.

    He is a great role model for kids and a great ambassador for Limerick, and as such, should get the support he deserves.

    Wouldn't be a big boxing fan but I think it's great that Lee will get an opportunity to have a competitive fight in his home city.

    BTW, will the concert hall be big enough and is it suitable for a boxing ring?

    It is great that he pushed for it, and kept plugging away at wanting to have a live televised fight to be held in his hometown.

    I hope in a couple of years that the lad is fighting in Limerick again, but with a World Title to his name and in Thomond Park.

    I seriously doubt it's the consert hall. It seems totally unsuitable, having sat in it for at least 4 hours a week for 30 weeks each of the last 2 years. Late Late yes. Boxing no.

    I'll do some digging, but I reckon the Arena is a more likely venue.

    Fair play to him and the Arena team

    Seen him fight in the point on that disapointing night where Berno Dunne got the shíte kicked out of him, it will be good to see Lee fight again!

    looking at buyng some tickets from ticketmaster.ie, never been to the Arena before

    Ringside seats 125 euros, 60 euros for tiered seating.

    90 euros for block seating

    Anyone have an Arena seating layout?

    Whats the difference between tiered seating & the blocks?:confused:
