Hull Venue
Construction
The venue was built on a brownfield site, between the Humber Estuary and Hull City Centre. Local steel, manufactured in Scunthorpe, was used on the project.
In June 2018, Bonus Group secured the naming rights to the venue. In August 2023, the naming rights were transferred to local company Connexin in a five-year deal and the venue was renamed Connexin Live.
