The Stadium

Built for the 2002 commonwealth games the “City of Manchester” stadium has a capacity of 47,726.

Immediately after the Games the stadium was radically redeveloped with the pitch level lowered by approximately 10 metres; a lower tier of seats constructed; and the entire North Stand was constructed.

The Stadium staged its first City game in August 2003 and its first full season saw the Blues achieve their highest average attendance of all time.

Already the stadium has staged international football; a UEFA Women’s Championship game; a Rugby League international; and concerts by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, U2, Bon Jovi, Take That, Rod Stewart, George Michael & Oasis. It has also won various architectural awards.
