Listing historyNotable events

Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref N0033 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for 3 ARENA at NORTH WALL QUAY in DUBLIN CITY with AMPHITHEATRE IRELAND LIMITED as licensee.[1]

The Irish Times reported on the opening night of the O2 arena at the Point in Dublin on 2008-12-16.[2]

The Irish Independent (Herald) reported in September 2014 that the venue previously known as the O2 at the Point was being renamed 3Arena.[3]

What the Boards.ie trail is useful for

These cards turn the raw forum trail into practical page leads: gossip, character texture, time depth, source depth, and review warnings where the match pattern is broad.

overmatch_review

Big archive trail, needs match review

Boards.ie produces 147 readable matches for 3 Arena, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.

characters

Characters and room texture

The character lane has 9 signals for 3 Arena: regulars, staff-memory, crowds, habits, or the social feel of the room. PubHub keeps this as labelled forum memory and uses source review before turning any named-person fragment into stronger copy.

time_depth

Best Boards.ie memory leads

3 Arena has 147 readable Boards.ie memory signals around stories and gossip, old memories, nights out and craic, regulars and characters and music and sessions. The strongest current lead points into "Slayer/Lamb Of God/Anthrax and Obituary- Nov 1st 3arena"; PubHub should keep it labelled as forum memory, then use corrections and source review to turn the best fragments into fuller local stories. The character lane is especially useful here, with 9 regulars-or-room-texture signals.
