MANCHESTER CITY

Etihad Stadium (capacity 55,097)

The Etihad Stadium is one of the largest in the Premier League, and has been home to Manchester City since 2003, when the club moved from Maine Road. Originally built to host the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the stadium has subsequently hosted the 2008 UEFA Cup Final, a boxing world title fight, and the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

Its iconic roof design has received a lot of praise and the stadium itself has won many accolades, including an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects. A third tier was added to the South Stand in 2015 and in early 2023, plans were revealed to expand the upper tier of the North Stand, which would take the capacity to around 60,000.

Away fans visiting the Etihad Stadium are located in three tiers on one side of the South Stand, with a typical allocation of around 3,000.

Residents only parking has been implemented lately within about a one mile radius of the stadium so if this is your preferred option it’ll involve parking further away and walking. There is also a number of matchday car parks available on Pottery Lane.

We’ve compiled a list of car parks, below, near to the Etihad Stadium for hassle free parking while you’re at the match.

Pottery Lane Car ParksM12 5DE£52.0kmThere are a number of matchday car parks along Pottery Lane, charging between £4 and £6, which are about a 15 minute walk from the stadium.
St Brigid’s Primary SchoolM11 3DR£61.0kmJust a short walk from the stadium, but can be quite congested after the match.

The closest railway station to the Etihad Stadium is Ashburys, which is served by Manchester Piccadilly. It’s only a 15 minute walk to the stadium from Ashburys. Simply turn left, and continue up Alan Turing Way, where you’ll see the stadium on your left hand side.

Alternatively, if you don’t want the hassle of changing trains, you can walk directly from Manchester Piccadilly, which will take around 25 minutes. When you exit the station, turn right into Ducie Street. Then at the end of Ducie Street, take a right on to Great Ancoats Street. Cross over the road, then over the canal, and turn left into Pollard Street. Continue along Pollard Street on to Ashton New Road, and you’ll see the stadium on your left.

The other option is to take a tram, which can be caught from both Victoria and Piccadilly railway stations. Take a tram on the East Manchester line towards Droylsden, and you can get off at either Etihad Campus, or Velopark, which is slightly closer to the away end. However, Velopark is closed after the game so probably best to use Etihad Campus. A return ticket from Manchester Piccadilly costs £3 for adults, and £1.40 for children and only takes around 8 minutes.
