Etihad Stadium seating plan & guide
The Etihad Stadium is the home of Manchester City, built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and converted for football when City moved in for 2003-04. The recently completed North Stand expansion added a much larger second tier, a rail-seating singing area and a new fan zone, lifting capacity past 60,000.
Best sections
The lower side tiers give the closest, most natural view of play; center sections near halfway are the pick.
The three-tier end behind the goal anchors the home support and is where the noise builds; lower rows keep you near the action.
Center sections of the upper give a clear bird's-eye tactical view and tend to be better value than the sidelines.
Insider tips
- Take the Metrolink tram to the Etihad Campus stop, which drops you right at the ground and beats driving in.
- Some surrounding fan-zone and hospitality areas are still being finished, so check what is open before matchday.
