[Gordyola]

I have just driven past the ground tonight and it’s lit up pink. Any particular reason?
Excuse the photo quality.

It’s the lights that they use to stimulate the grass growth They use different light frequencies depending upon what they are targeting and these have different colours

Shirley with a name like the Circus Live it would be better suited to going to Old Trafford?

Burnley kicks off at 15:00. Can't imagine there will be that many gig goers knocking about pre-match so can't see why it wouldn't be available to city fans

Canalside is definitely worth a visit, looks like they will be doing hot food and the beers are the same price as the stadium...(when a game on)

Apologies if mentioned elsewhere but seems to be an imminent announcement on a NBA European League coming as soon as 2027 which will have a Manchester City team along with other major European football teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG.

City ruining Basketball since 2027 then ;)

Basketball !! Can’t get my head round a sport where there’s a “goal” every 20 seconds ! If it were in my back garden I’d close the curtains and walk to the boozer

Oh I agree - my opinion, most games you might as well just play the last 2/3 minutes and dispense with the rest.
Hard pass for me

Anyone know if Canalside open again for the Burnley game?

Yep, it's open, just need a match ticket to get in.

This video illustrates the potential revenue that can be generated by hosting other events at the stadium. We already have the COOP live for music events





This video shows how the NFL stadiums make money from games, it also gives you insight into what may happen with Etihad in the future, when they remove the turrets for the fans to walk up and replace escalators, making more room for suites, etc



In the USA, at the moment, the entertainment district is a must for every new stadium. cmon CFG, develop the land next to the stadium.

Stadiums in the USA have moved on from having massive car parks next to their stadiums, instead using clever design with multi-storey car parks and using public transport

Please look at the different sites throughout out USA. This gives us an idea of what can be done with the land surrounding our stadium

Yes but the <50% ownership is CFG not MCFC so no direct income for City unlike the hotel and commercial building

Bit like my take on formula 1 , watch the start and the then the last lap , forget the middle bit !!

 

[HelloCity]

Looks like they’ve trimmed the bush and smartened it up a little bit.

 

[Centurions]

Don't why but I thought there was a physical connection between the two. That looks quite cool.

Compare this to how it was 30 years ago
