So it would project out of the back of the North stand? I thought they were building it just up the road or is this totally separate?Yep. On the back of it.
That would be enormous wouldn’t it? Would be incredible and the kind of ambition ADUG seem to show.Yep. On the back of it.

He's got me intrigued for sure.That would be enormous wouldn’t it? Would be incredible and the kind of ambition ADUG seem to show.
Hmm, the screengrab @jrb posted states 'Manchester City FC – New Indoor Arena/Expansion' whereas the link now says 'Manchester City FC – Expansion (UK)'
Is that correct?
Maybe City have been in-touch?

If I remember they have talked about a covered City Square at the back of the North Stand when extended, so from Worsleywebs post would the arena be back from the stand but have a covered shared area joining the stand that could be used for both City Square pre games and also arena crowds pre event .That would be enormous wouldn’t it?

I’d have thought more like behind the East Stand.

The reason I suggest is that a certain Spanish gentlemen I have dealings with who was working at city when we did the first stand spoke about viability for the second. If I remember correctly he spoke about an indoor city square or arena which would help justify the cost of expansion. The first stand was effectively made possible by the extra costs of the 93.20 and the tunnel club rather than the extra 6000 seats. He spoke to me saying the corporate was pretty much at its limit so he had to come up with something clever to make the business plan for the other end work.
No one has come up with the actual location for the arena and we could build one that effectively starts (underground like our stadium) at the area where city square is now. I may be wrong with this one but it maybe I am bang on.
