So looks like Asahi on sale in the ground after the sponsorship announcement. Did anyone get close enough to see the cost of a pint?

Just larking about around the roof. A bit pointless really. It's a shame they didn't take it more seiously, as there would have been some good video shots from up there.
Richards and Lescott tackle an Etihad rooftop tour!
Micah Richards and Joleon Lescott were both well versed in hitting the heights during their illustrious Manchester City playing careers.

No.
As long as they aren't West Ham prices.

Nice Pics, I wonder if they have replaced the 1980's Display that faces onto the Summerbee Bar ?Updated pictures of the nearly finished new bar area in South Stand Level 1.
Note the new City Square stage and full length curved digital screen.

Good lads the Stotts.You used to be able to get from south stand (L2) all around the ground to the east (the long way, not thru the away fans), but they stopped that years back from memory. When they extended the south stand i think. Unless theres a fire escape i dont think you can get from SS L2 to L1 easily

I always forget that the original north stand was a temporary structure and was demolished before conversion.

That looks amazing. Imagine if they had built us a new one! My god it would have been spectacular. That has gone, but this shows that they can make the Etihad one hell of a place. With the North Stand having been re-built for football there's perhaps more scope to doing something different. I wouldn't imagine it would be single tier because they'll no doubt want to have different price options within it and some corporate areas, but it could still be quite something.
Is the talk about the hotel being provided in the North Stand? I wonder if they'll copy the Rogers Centre where the Marriott is incorporated into one of the stands and hotel rooms have direct views over the pitch. Doesn't look great in my opinion, but it's quite a unique offer. More likely to have some corporate seats where hotel room + match ticket options can be provided. Apologies if the hotel references aren't NS related and I'm chatting shit!

I bet West Ham wish they could convert their ground properly and get rid of the running track and temporary stands. The people in charge of building what was then the City of Manchester stadium did a very good job of building something that wasn’t going to turn into a white elephant like so many Olympic Venues.
