Re: Whats underneath the etihad stadium???

Underneath the stadium is an old coal mine
If you're talking about in the stadium itself, opposite both changing rooms is a warm up room with astroturf and an electronic board for shooting practise

Is that warm up room underground

Serious question, have you ever been to a game at the Etihad?
If so where did you sit?

Ive sat on all 3 teirs but i wouldnt sit on top teir at top again its way to steep for my likeing

Did you not notice that on level one after entering the stadium you walk "down stairs" to your seat

You asked if the warm up pitches were below ground level, I'm just attempting to find out if you'd thought about it first

The whole bottom tier of the stadium is underground, so yes, the warm-up rooms are underground too.

Yes but my original question was also just asking what is below level at the stadium ok if i broaden it to is there anything around the stadium that is under ground level ie cant see from above like training areas or various things that is what i meant to say sos if it got off track just want to know if there is any pics or vids anywhere of any facilities that we may or may not have that is under the surface in or around the stadium area<br /><br />-- Thu Feb 02, 2012 9:08 am --<br /><br />Thanks Dubai Blue

Re: Whats underneath the etihad stadium???

Some of those mine shafts and tunnels spread right under north Manchester....a tunnel large enough for vehicles to travel connected Bradford (Beswick) Colliery to the one in Moston, where the 'Miners Estate' is (unsuprisingly) so Etihad and the proposed new FC united of Bury's ground will be 'connected'

Anyone got access to dynamite.....?

Last person who tried a plan like that in a tunnel under a building got caught and ended up having a day in November named after him.

On the training pitches.... not been down there recently but one of them (the away warm up room) was converted into player lounge over a year ago. To be fair giving the opposition a warm up room never really helped City - Arsenal were the very first team to use it (31/8/03; Portsmouth didn't bother!) and they beat City 2-1!

A blast from the past. How it used to look.
