Before a certificate is issued there must be a staged event with a reduced capacity which is then cranked up to full capacity if everything is OK.
That a certificate can be issued before completion is nonsense, all that exists now is an agreed "planned" capacity of 3000+.
I remember the first game at the Millennium stadium having a capacity of 35,000.
Time will tell

No liquor/entertainment licence has been granted to the new arena to date.
There is currently an application submitted with the Council inviting observations etc until 2 February.
With the Licensing Committee/Officers certain to make an inspection of the premises along with Police & Fire Service before the application is formally considered by the Committee the granting of a licence is some way off

Having looked at what is still needed to finish the arena, which is still plenty of work and it seems it is going to be well into February when everything COULD be ready. I believe we should take advantage of our advantage and see the regular season out in the BBT.
The reasons are this. We have a difficult run in and have to play Nottingham at home one more time with adittional home games with Belfast and Sheffield twice more (yes I know one of those is tonight). These teams will want nothing better to play us on our big ice in the new arena. The last thing they want is to come down again to the hardest place in the league to visit. We should use this advantage and sit tight as were so close to success this season.
I would make the move to the new arena for the beginning of the playoffs. This would also give more time to get everything right for the switch over. We have been waiting for a new home for ten years so a few more weeks are not going to hurt us if there is silverware at stake.
Just my opinion but would be interested in what you guys think.

Huge thank you to Chris Hartrey for today's visit into our new home, believe me Greenbank has done us proud, it' truelly is a beautiful venue, and every fan home or away will love it. This lovely place sent tingles down my back today, it really is that nice. Sure it has taken 10yrs to get this lush building, but my god it really is the Mutts Nutts.

No way am I going to make a guess on a forum, that could be suicidal and I don't need that thank you, I know nothing about the ins and outs about what has to be signed off, and don't really want to know, after 10 yrs of fighting for this lovely venue we will be in there when we are in there. But what I will say is that this beautiful place has been worth waiting for, and Greenbank have done a great job.We now have the best team, the best owners, the best managment, the best coach, the best fans, and now the best venue.

Could there be a rival for the Devils as Swansea announces 3,500 seater arena:

Says in the bit below that the arena will have ice skating. Taken from one of the first few paragraphs on the BBC article.
This would be amazing. I will obviously hate any team that plays there, which is great, what a superb natural rival to have if it materialises and a team ends up playing out of there.
