etihad stadium

我对《Etihad Stadium》的认识，其实是由最前身，当年 Manchester 举办英联邦运动会时已经开始。当时是叫做《City of Manchester Stadium》。后来运动会完结后，便成为了《Manchester City》的主场。因为附近有大型超市而常来。在外看，球场的设计是十分之新颖的，纯银色，非常之有时尚感。而且同围都非常之空旷，看球赛时，绝对不怕找不到车位。在内，我只在多年前入过一次，那次是看英格兰对日本的足球比赛的，当年用上了智能门票，也算是几先进。很时尚，很美的球场，而令我感觉到，来英国寻找足球的地图，是一大乐事。

This stadium has changed and continues to change and expand as the team gets more successful. On the Metrolink line too.

Brilliant. Guided tour of ground. Very informative. Friendly staff. Easy to find from Manchester City Centre

Part of our visit to the Etihad was the stadium tour. With almost 30 noisy & nosey males to contend with our guide Lynne did a tremendous job. She was well informed and kept the tour really interesting with stories and facts about the stadium and players.The tour itself was great with many photo opportunities and gave a good insight into the working life of a top league footballer. For me the tunnel walk to emerge pitch side was the best moment although the visit to the home teams changing room came a close second.If you are a football fan and in the Manchester area you must try to do the stadium tour - you won't regret it.

This review is for 2 February visits to the stadium, one with my wife and one with my mates. The whole area is looking great with the regeneration work and City Square is a fantastic venue before the games with live bands etc. Had the privilege of watching the Arsenal game in a private box. Staff were excellent, chatty and friendly. Although as a fan of City the 90 minute match experience was a bit underwhelming as I was the only City fan in the posh seats. Got a few funny looks for being vocal. But what an experience. Thanks to my wife for that one.The Barcelona match was a flying visit. We were on the Eleven Lounge before and after the game. Greeted by Colin Bell and Mike Summerbee and met Joe Corrigan and Tony Book. This club doesn't forget its legends. Food was superb. Best of wines and beers. Again, staff were excellent especially our lovely Latvian host, the friendliest girl in the world. If you go please bring me back the recipe for the lime infused carrot cake. We mentioned how nice it was at our pre match meal and the staff kept us some for after the game. Now that's service.To sum up, fantastic venue, fantastic staff, 2 terrible results :)

A great tour! Jeff was a great guide even though our son was a United fan! He was informative and made the whole thing really enjoyable. The stadium was amazing and a must see if you like football and are visiting Manchester! Even the mother in law who is not a big footie fan enjoyed the visit. Good value and highly recommended by all of us!!

We have attended the rugby league magic weekend each time it has been at the Etihad, the tram links are superb and the facilities in the stadium are really good.Nothing to dislike.

Very well organised and really friendly staff.The tour guide was fascinating,his knowledge was amazing.,very patient with QnAs.Overall the Stadium the tour and the people of Man City were very hospitable.Highly recommend indeed.Manchester should be Proud of what's happening at this Club.

We went to watch the cup match between Middlesbrough and Manchester city, its the first time we had been to city's new ground, and what a surprise awaited us.The attractions and space outside the ground were really good lots of places to eat and drink, although we didn't manage to find any toilet facilities.Inside the ground the stadium is fantastic although the seats that we had near the front were almost on the flat which made it difficult to see over the people in front.Despite building work going on to enlarge the ground, it was still an delight to visit such a lovely football ground.

Came here for a champions league match (barca vs man city) and it was an absolutely incredible atmosphere! The facilities are pretty good also and plenty of areas for food and drinks.

Took the pre-match tour, lots of time and got to see the stadium being setup for the Newcastle match. Great guides, enquired where everyone was from, had encyclopedic knowledge of players from each persons home town or country....we'll worth the money...and got 10% discount in the shop which pretty much made the tour self funding..

Given a flag for free to wave around? I'll bring my own if i want thanks. no atmosphere. Trying to create "fans"

Tours starts yards from Metro station at Club Store with easy access and lifts.A very interesting tour of the Stadium and behind the scenes.Guide for our tour was "Dave", a very amenable chap with a good sense of humour, plenty of information and sound knowledge of the clubs important history and historic role in returning back to it's nearby original roots. He made a point of welcoming everyone and was brilliant ensuring children got involved where possible. He opened my eyes as to how much a role City now play in the local community, to their credit.Would recommend this tour to my friends, even if they did not follow Manchester City FC for the access allowed by the club and just how community involvement at this level is vital.Loads of photo opportunities at all times.Will do the trip again next time I return to Manchester, just to soak up the atmosphere again.

What a brilliant tour, led by Ray - a really friendly guy who was so knowledgeable and interesting. I went along with my husband and grandson, and will admit that although I live in a football mad house, I'm not as besotted myself - so I was surprised to find I REALLY enjoyed the tour. I couldn't believe the buzz I got from actually sitting in Aguerro's special massage chair (no pun intended) - yes, in the players changing room they all have one! We saw the fabulous pitch which really is spectacular, all the cups and trophies, walked down the players' tunnel, sat in the manager's chair (heated of course), saw the Chairman's lounge, the Media room - you name it we saw it. Ray also explained all about the fantastic new smaller Stadium, the state of the art hospital which is going to be world renowned, and even a hotel for the players - all just across from the Etihad stadium. After the tour we enjoyed looking round the shop - some great gifts for footy fans. Well worth a visit for all the family.

So easy to get to on the metro, which run every 10 mins. City square is excellent before and after the game for getting even more. View from stadium in any location is perfect. Went on tour day after and was a joy. Tour guide Andrew was brilliant. Well informed and funny. Staff clearly have pride in their club. Son and I loved the match experience and the tour the following day
