Etihad Stadium
Home of Manchester City, originally the main venue for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Stadium tours are available, and the nearby Etihad Campus has a training base and a fan shop.
The Etihad Stadium lies on the east side of the city. It was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and later converted into the home ground of Manchester City, with its north stand expanded to a capacity of about 60,000. Stadium tours take you through the changing rooms, player tunnel, press conference room and trophy display. Adult tickets start at around GBP 30, and there is also a premium tour that includes the players' restaurant. On match days, there are fan zones around the stadium. It is about 3 km from the city centre, a short ride on the Metrolink Blue Line to Etihad Campus station, or about a 30-minute walk from Piccadilly.
