History

About Etihad Stadium

The Etihad Stadium opened on 25 July 2002 as the City of Manchester Stadium, originally built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. After the Games, the stadium was reconfigured for football and Manchester City moved from their long-time home Maine Road in 2003. A 10-year naming-rights deal with Etihad Airways began in 2011 and has been extended. Continued expansion has lifted capacity from the original 38,000 to 53,400.

Seating layout

Etihad Stadium seating plan & capacity

The seating bowl is asymmetric due to the Commonwealth Games athletic-track origin. The East and West stands are separated from the pitch by a slightly larger gap than the North and South. Premium seats sit in the South Stand mid-tier (the Tunnel Club). The Kippax (East) Lower has the most vocal home support.
