Etihad Stadium – design description
The Eastlands stadium expansion had been rumoured about since the club was taken over by new owners in 2008, but wasn’t confirmed until spring 2013. In May the club released the very first rendering of what is to be a new third tier over two existing at the south end. Capacity increase is thought to be 6,250 with some seats being among most affordable at top Premier League clubs.
Identical operation would later be done to the northern side of Etihad Stadium, allowing it to become English football’s second biggest club stadium.
The planning application was filed in December 2013 as planned, first piling works started already in February 2014. First full season with the expanded south end would be the 2015/16 tournament.
