Man City submit planning application for £300m Etihad Stadium expansion
Manchester City have submitted a planning application for a £300 million expansion of their Etihad Stadium, aiming to increase its current capacity of 53,400 to 60,000.
The proposed development includes a sky bar with a view of the pitch, a stadium roof walk experience, a 3,000-capacity fan zone, a new club shop and museum, and a 400-bed hotel.
According to Manchester City Council, the project, which would take three years to complete, would create a 'best-in-class fan experience and year-round Entertainment and leisure destination.'
Additionally, the expansion could create 2,600 jobs, with priority given to people from Greater Manchester.
