Fans will have seen the development taking shape around the stadium in recent months, with the next phase of the Campus transformation now clearly visible. Medlock Square is set to become a new focal point for supporters on matchdays and beyond.
The name takes inspiration from the River Medlock, which runs beneath the site – connecting the development to the area’s heritage and its continued regeneration. The river also appears in the Manchester City club badge and has a long-standing, deep connection to this club.
At the heart of Medlock Square is the Etihad Stadium North Stand expansion, a major development that will increase the stadium’s capacity following the introduction of 7,000 new seats, as well as new premium bar and hospitality experiences to cater for the varying needs of fans. At least 3,000 of the additional capacity will be allocated to rail seating.

An all-new, immersive and interactive Museum Experience will celebrate City’s past and present in exciting new ways, bringing fans even closer to the moments that define our history.
A brand-new flagship City Store will form part of the development, giving fans an even bigger and better space to explore the latest kits and products.
A covered activation space with capacity for up to 3,000 people will create a dedicated hub for matchdays and Club events throughout the year – offering fans even more ways to come together before and after the match.
Fans will benefit from a wide range of food and drink options across Medlock Square, from quick coffee stops and casual dining to more premium experiences for those looking to extend their matchday experience at the Etihad. This will be in addition to the local independent food vendors located outside the East and West Stands. The newly launched Medlock Hotel will provide fans with the opportunity to stay right at the heart of the Campus, including rooms overlooking the pitch – keeping fans closer than ever to the action.
And for those looking to see the Etihad from a completely new perspective, an adrenaline-fuelled roof walk experience, alongside abseiling and zipwires, will offer the chance to step onto the top of the stadium itself – delivering views across Manchester and an unforgettable way to experience the home of the Blues.
More details will be shared in the coming weeks as we look forward to welcoming fans to Medlock Square later this year.
