Every one of the 48,000 seats provides a perfect view of the pitch. The City of Manchester Stadium has been formed in a unique bowl shape and proved a spectacular host for the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

When the Games finished the Stadium underwent a dramatic transformation, with a new permanent North Stand replacing the former temporary seating. The running track was removed and re-laid at other sporting venues. What was ground level for the games was then dug out and an extra tier of seating added in to bring supporters closer to the action.

Amongst the benefits the City of Manchester Stadium brings is the improved transport access. There are over 2,000 car parking spaces on site, and a further 8,000 accredited car parking spaces in easy reach of the Stadium. The Stadium can also be easily reached by rail and bus, being just a 20 minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station and the city centre.
