It has 53,400 supporters in four stands and is one of the biggest club grounds in English soccer. Built to host the 2002 Commonwealth Games, its soccer facilities have been in use since 2003. The Guide to Man City tickets Your visit to Etihad.

South Stand (Away Section)

The largest single-tier stand in English soccer, the South Stand stretches its entire length on the pitch. This is the section which visiting fans take up in the corner in particular, and is the “home section.”

Atmosphere: Good atmosphere as at heart of the home South Stand is more in the lower block, very close to the Colin Bell Stand. The massive size of the stand can mean sounds, sometimes, can become diffused.

Best for: Fans who want big crowds; people looking for value Tickets; families who want a less charged scene.

Consider if: You’re looking for superb viewlines on a single-tier view, or you’re going with lower-school children who might find the louder stands overwhelming.

View: Back of the goal and really nice unobstructed views because of that single-tier design. The absence of supporting pillars means each seat receives a direct line of sight.

Sections breakdown:

• Blocks 101-108 (Lower): Closest proximity to pitch level, good for player detail
• Blocks 201-214 (Upper): Elevated View, Good for seeing tactical patterns
• Away Section: Located in the south-east corner (blocks nearest the East Stand)

Tip: Even the back rows of a single-tier South Stand have an unexpectedly good view in fact.

North Stand

The North Stand opposite the South Stand is home to many of Manchester City's most fervent supporters. That's where much of the atmosphere is created at the Etihad.

Atmosphere: The more rowdy seat at the Etihad Stadium. The North Stand is home to 1894 Group – the official fan group of the city’s soccer team to help uplift the atmosphere at matchday. Songs frequently began from here and then spread around the space.

Best for: Die-hard City fans interested in singing all match, supporters who care more about atmosphere than comfort, those who seek a genuine Etihad atmosphere.

Consider if: You want to cheer on the vocal team and don’t mind staying standing for the most part of a match even though you have a seat.

View: Behind the goal view.

Great for near goal-scoring action with City attacking towards that end (usually second half for big fixtures). For South Stand action, it’s further away.

Sections breakdown:

• Level 1 (Blocks 101 to 110): Strong heart of atmosphere for 1894 Group
• Level 2 (Blocks 201 to 212): Nice atmosphere, much better overall view of the play
• Level 3 (Blocks 301-314): The top tier, panoramic views all over stadium

Tip: Block 111 and the surrounding sections in Level 1 house the most vocal fans. If you want to deliver the song “Blue Moon” from the top of your lungs, this is where it fits.

East Stand

The East Stand lines up along the side of the pitch with superior sideline views. The three-tiered stand features both pitch-side seating and panoramic elevation views.

Atmosphere: More subdued than the North Stand but still alert. That combination of general admission and hospitality areas means that atmosphere can differ from section to section.

Best for: Fans wanting excellent sideline views, those seeking a balance between atmosphere and comfort, hospitality guests, first-time visitors.

Consider if: You want to see both goals clearly and appreciate the full tactical picture of the match.

View: Superb sideline perspective. Central sections provide arguably the best pure soccer views in the stadium – perfect for witnessing Guardiola’s complex passing play as it unfolds.

Sections breakdown:

• Level 1: Near pitch level, nice for observing players and listening to on-the-field communication
• Level 2: Popular hospitality tier with lounges and high quality seating
• Level 3: Elevated views ideal to enjoy City tactical play

Tip: East Stand Level 3 central blocks offer real value — high enough to catch Guardiola patterns, central enough to see perfect sightlines.

Colin Bell Stand (West Stand)

Named after Manchester City legend Colin Bell – "The King of the Kippax" – this stand houses the players' tunnel, dugouts, directors' box, and main TV cameras. It’s the beating heart of the Etihad Stadium.

Atmosphere: Similar to East Stand – engaged but not as vocal as the North Stand. The corporate guests, media, and directors' box give a somewhat more subdued vibe to central sections.

Best for: Fans who want to watch players emerge out of the tunnel, dugout reactions fans, premium hospitality guests, photographers, fans of the “TV view” of the match.

Consider if: You want to see Pep Guardiola prowling the technical area or you’re looking for the pre-match tunnel experience.

View: Classic "TV camera" view. Central sections are as strong as East Stand but with tunnel and dugout views.

Sections breakdown:

• Level 1 Central: Close to the tunnel and dugouts—listen up close as Guardiola gives tactical instructions
• Level 1 Wings: Good views of the sideline, usually somewhat cheaper than central
• Level 2: Premium hospitality featuring executive boxes and lounges
• Level 3: Elevated views; good for photography

Tip: If you are in the Colin Bell Stand Level 1, come early. You will be amazed at watching how the players walk out of the tunnel for warm ups.

Quick Comparison: Which Stand Should You Choose?

Priority	Best Stand	Why
Best atmosphere	North Stand Level 1	Home of the 1894 Group, where songs begin
Best view	East/Colin Bell Level 2-3 Central	Perfect sideline sightlines
First-time visitor	East Stand or Colin Bell Stand	Atmosphere and views balance
Families with children	South Stand or East Stand	Good facilities, less intense atmosphere

Rivalries

Main Rivals

Manchester United

Manchester United is the most successful team in the country. It was always very painful for Man City fans to see their neighbors doing so well. The better they feel now Manchester City is the best team in the country instead of their arch rivals.

Liverpool

There isn't much history in this rivalry, but results in the last couple of years created a new rivalry. Liverpool always had a big rivalry with Man United, but the last couple of years Man City and Liverpool fight it out for the title. The 2018-19 season was the best example, when Man City beat Liverpool in the titlerace with 98 points against 97 points. The gap between Liverpool and third placed Chelsea was 25 points. In the foreseeable future we can only see this rivalry getting more and more intense.

Your Etihad Stadium Matchday: What to Expect

Manchester City’s home ground since 2003, the Etihad Stadium has evolved from the Commonwealth Games location to one of English soccer’s contemporary venues. On the main campus at Etihad in east Manchester, your matchday there is set with high-end facilities, but with all the passion that comes from the Sky Blue fanbase. Here's what you need to make the most of your Manchester City time.

When to Arrive

Stadium gates open: 2 hours before kick-off

Recommended arrival times:

• 3+ hrs ahead: Visit and explore the Etihad Campus, City Store, take a picture at the stadium statues, fan zone
• 2 hours before: Go into the stadium while gates are open, take in the concourses, see how the pitch is warming up
• 1 hour before: Arrival is comfortable – grab food and drinks, get your seats, watch warm-ups start
• 30 minutes before: Recommended as of late – get out and witness the team warm-ups and atmosphere building
• 15 minutes before: Absolute minimum - team news on start

Our suggestion: Be at least 90 minutes in advance of kick-off. The Etihad Campus has lots to do and see, and the pre-match buildup is all part of the experience.

Pre-Match Traditions

Blue Moon

Manchester City’s classic anthem. “Blue Moon” plays before kick-off and the whole stadium becomes engulfed in the song — just an eerie, spine-tingling moment that became an icon for the club. Since the 1990s, the song has been City’s anthem, and 53,000 voices singing it in unison are unforgettable.

The Poznań

From Polish club Lech Poznań, which was adopted after a Europa League encounter in 2010, the Poznań has fans face the pitch, turning their backs and bouncing from their sides with their arms around each other.

Key Songs to Know

• "Blue Moon" – Manchester City anthem for its core
• "We're Not Really Here" – Self-deprecating humour from City’s darker days
• "Hey Jude" (City version) – “Na na na na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, City!”
• "Wonderwall" – The Oasis classic as a post-match celebration
• "Oh Erling Haaland" – Dedicated to City’s prolific striker
• "Pep Guardiola" – A nod to the legendary manager

The 1894 Group

Located in the North Stand, CITY's official supporter organization, the 1894 Group helps improve the matchday atmosphere. They coordinate flags, banners and songs – if you’re in the North Stand, go along with their efforts for the complete experience.
