Pictures taken on Sunday.

Piling rig City. :-)

Not the most gripping video.

Shows 73 modules being lifted into place for the workers delivering the arena.

The video speeds up. Stick with it.

There is a box park scheduled for Manchester. Pre pandemic it was to be penciled in for near Piccadilly though. Could be a good shout having it near the new arena though

I think we have missed a golden opportunity to do it during the pandemic.

It's interesting that it appears to keep almost all the existing seating, and is just a new hugely expensive wrapper for the old stadium.
