The List

Etihad Stadium

The home of Manchester City FC was built to house the 2002 Commonwealth Games, but a condition of its building was that it could be converted from an athletics stadium into one suitable for football, and this was carried out shortly after the games ended. It's the tenth largest stadium in the UK, although a proposed expansion could make it the third largest. The much-praised design by ArupSport has contributed to the ongoing well-being of the pitch, considered one of the best in British football. It also features the adjoining City Football Academy, opened in 2014, which features training facilities for the club's first team, reserve, youth squad and women's team. The stadium is served by Etihad Campus and Velopark tram stops, and Piccadilly railway station is a 20-minute walk along a well-lit supervised route.
