Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Great pic but that gas building to the left looks like a gigantic chip fryer

It is scrap metal ready to come down.

The recent drone videos and picture screen grabs are really starting to show the true scale of the new North stand and the wider North stand development.

Basically, it's f*cking huge! :-)

The whole area with the extension, hotel and arena is going to look amazing when complete!

Have put elsewhere but thought it should also go on here. I heard yesterday from someone high up in MCC that they intend to reinstall the old railway loop line from Piccadilly over the Ardwick Viaduct curve and join up with the existing underused track that runs to the east of the new Tesla Garage. Tesla only has a five year lease. MCC and the City Football Group intend to install a new train station near the Tesla garage. MCC are in the process of buying / acquiring the bits of land they don't own to get the track reinstalled. I guess this is now happening as HS2 is not going into Piccadilly now. Will obviously take a few years but is clearly good news.

It would amazing if this happened, hopefully, money could come as being part of Euro 2028 then that is the site covered for public transport

1. Buses - need a better drop point near the stadium, the old gas cylinder is shouting out for a transport hub
2. Trams - more trams carriages
3. Cars- hopefully city will build multi-storey car parks at the site
4. Walking MCC along with City making safe walking route back to town

Out for a walk this evening and thought the light captured the arena looking quite spectacular. So shared it here

Looks good there, in other shots with different lighting it looks much more mundane(?). Can't wait to see the LEDs lit up.

Looks like the pitch size will not be big enough for the PL rules, just like Anfield
