Yup, correct.. I think it will be finished soon.. The arena will be 8.500 m2.
Next to Odense Congress Center, south eastern part of Odense, actually the place is quite far away from the city centre.

The arena is for mixed usage then (Not specifically for Badminton)?

..yannie, any other details of the arena??..from the pics, it looks like it's a 2 to 3-stories construction..some other queries from me, if you don't mind, as i've searched the internet but all i've found are websites in Danish:p:
-is that number just the building size or the whole complex?? looking at the size, it's just abt more than 2 acres..It's quite sizeable, but for comparison purpose & i think if the math serves me right, it's abt 1/7th the size of the Honda Center, formerly known as Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim(venue of 2005 WC) (http://www.arrowheadpond.com/Factsheet.aspx):p ;) .
-ie. seating capacity,
-I assume it's an income producing venue, which main client will be using it most of the time??..any specific sports team?? or it'll basically act similar to a Convention Center..

[yannie]

It's built to attract big sport and cultural events in Odense. e.g. World Championships in Badminton and Denmark Open in Badminton.
Date of the official opening of this arena is September 15th 2007.
Seating capacity: 4000
Hmm, it should be the size of the hall.

Hi,

I have a friend who lives in Odense actually, so I am very tempted to go. Do we know who will be playing there? I heard that previous events didn't have any Chinese players in...?

Hey Captain Jack, didn't see your post before now! :o

We don't know who will be playing here until like 2 weeks before, where the draw will be published. But everything can change until the day before the tournament starts. E.g. Last year Tan Boon Heong/Hoon Thien How pulled out of DO, cuz TBH had to prepare for Asian Games. Some players might get injured etc, but there won't be any drastic changes.

I remember last year, few days before the tournament, we still didn't know who came with what flight and which players stayed at which hotels etc.. cuz their badminton federations were too slow to hand in those info. There were problems with hotels cuz overbooked at Scandic Plaza in the heart of the city.. Later most (or all?) countries' players needed to stay at Scandic Aarhus, far from city centre.

You are wrong. Chinese players come every year. It's just that China didn't send their first team in 2005 and 2006 - but their backup team. I think China's top shuttlers will be sent here this year though, since players need to earn points for OG qualification through this 6* Supereries event.

Anyway, come to Odense! It's a small and cosy town.. :D :D :D I'm looking forward to see many many players with long black YONEX coats someday in October this year..

I'm booked at Ansgar Hotel Odense. It's about $120 per night. Quite reasonable based on Scandinavian standard. I believe it's near the Odense train station where you can get the bus for Arena Fyn.

Ya, sure looking forward to him if he's coming.. Djarum players.. Errr, my other friend (who has many friends in Djarum) said everything is still unconfirmed. If Djarum sends players maybe Rian-Yoke, Andre will come?? Huh?

MJs said coach didn't tell them yet. FAINT. But most likely only Chun Seang and Julia will come. That's what I heard from them.

The players from all countries will be staying at around 5 different hotels all in Odense.

[yannie]

The 20 + guides will be wearing ORANGE sponsor shirts.. Faint. I haven't seen the shirts yet..

Anyway Denmark Open soon to come! We have a nice guide team! Hope everything goes smoothly.. Looking forward to see you all..

[yannie]

Haiya, I just went to guide meeting.. they're all sooo nice people! That's why I'm excited.. Hehehe..

I don't think I'll be picking up players, actually I can if I want, but haven't decided yet. Maybe will send them to the airport when they go back la.. Dunno yet also. My schedule is sooo busy. CRY.

..but...but...they're coming on the weekend??:p..Yes, you can pick them up, yannie...C'mon, do it for us BCers, as you're our only BC ambassador from Denmark..:p:):cool:..But, if you really can't go, we'll understand..:cool:

[yannie]

Aiya, I can't fail my exams cuz of Denmark Open right? Hahahaha.. I'll wait and see. FAINT.

[yannie]

Korea coming on Saturday also.. Our guide Lars will pick them up.. He'll pick up Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore also I think..

..mind sharing w/us what your tasks will be for this coming Denmark Open??..Any specific team(s)/contingent(s) you are assigned to??..:confused::cool:..
I guess those new LOs/team guides can use your vast experiences, having helped out during the last few Denmark Opens..;):cool:

[yannie]

Guide. Like guiding them around in town, help out if they are ill, need translation etc. Just like you Chris.. Exactly like Liaison officer. Just that in Denmark we call it a "guide".
Hehehe, no specific team. I guess China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia.. Since I know some players already *hihihihihihi*..

:p..IMO, "Liaison Officer" is just some fancy schmancy name/term.:rolleyes::D;)..I think "guide" or 'helper' or "assistant" is a more appropriate term, esp. when i was helping out..:p;)
Aaah-hah, so you got all your "favorite teams" along w/the "favorite players", heh?!:p...Did they assign you to them or you **actually** request to help those teams??:confused:..No wonder you sound so giddy for this tourney..:rolleyes::D;)

[ctjcad]

Dreamzz, you going to Denmark open??

I heard Fastdrop will go..

elwin81 not going.. *grill him*

..get together for you guys during this Denmark Open??..:confused::D;):cool:

I think not many BC'ers are actually going to DO, so no big gathering. But if you guys see me, come and say hi okay hehehe.

..a simple & small gathering (with pics) is fine also..;):):cool:
..a small gathering is on the horizon, yannie:p. Especially with the news that Hau-ge and fastdrop will be coming..;):cool:

[badMania]

[huangkwokhau]

I think yannie is hoping to pick up that special someone right :p

[yannie]

hehe.. i picked up team INA yesterday with 2 other guides, and team CHN today.. got pics but private, so sorry can not post in BC. i posted in my facebook already but only for my friends to view..
