Manchester City expanding their stadium

First, the construction works began at the South Stand, the expansion of which should be completed later in 2015. And then, the North Stand will undergo a similar rebuilding.
In the course of its brief existence, which began in 2002, when it was built and called the City of Manchester Stadium, the stadium will undergo yet another change in design. It was originally built as a track and field stadium with a capacity of 36,000, and was intended as a venue for the 2000 Summer Olympics, which, however, were not awarded to Manchester in the end. A year later the stadium was therefore converted into a football-only stadium with a capacity of 47,805 seats. In 2008 the City of Manchester Stadium was renamed Etihad Stadium, after the airline company Etihad Airways, and will retain this name after its expansion.

Etihad Stadium after the incease in capacity to 62,170 seats

The Etihad Stadium is currently the fifth largest stadium in Premier League and after the increase in capacity to 62,170 seats it will become the second largest stadium, the largest being Old Trafford (76,212). Manchester City matches are sold out basically every time so the expansion will be beneficial both to fans and the club funds.
