Etihad Stadium

Project details

One of the earliest deliveries made from our Manchester Distribution Centre was to supply Manchester City's Etihad Stadium with tools and equipment to support a client of ours with construction works at the 53,600 capacity stadium that is home to 10x Premier League Champions and 2x Champions League Winners Manchester City Football Club.

Material handling solutions, including an Electric Pallet Mover was promptly delivered alongside air compressor hire, heavy breaker hire, hire accessories and drill bits.

Our Manchester Distribution Centre is located less than 20 miles from the Etihad Stadium which allowed us to provide our client with a fast and frictionless service from our newest depot in the North West.

History

The City of Manchester Stadium is home to Premier League club Manchester City and has a domestic football capacity of 53,600 which means it is the 7th largest football stadium in England and the 11th largest in the UK.

Initially opened in 2002 as an athletics stadium for the Commonwealth Games, the arena was converted into one of the leading stadiums in the Premier League. 

It was first designed as part of Manchester's failed bid for the 2000 Olympic Games and was built for the Commonwealth Games at a cost of £110 million.
