Thousands enjoy Glasgow's new sports arena

A new sports venue which will play host to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games has attracted more than 10,000 visitors in its opening weekend.

The Emirates Arena, which was named under a sponsorship agreement with the airline, opened its doors to the public on Friday.

Glasgow Life, which operates it, said over 3,000 people attended the east end venue on Saturday to view a variety of pre-programmed sporting activities.
