EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City's £300m splurge to get Etihad Stadium on a par with rivals: Premier League champions plan to take capacity past 60,000, with North Stand revamp to take Abu Dhabi owners' overall spend on infrastructure to £1bn

Manchester City are ploughing £300million of investment into revamping one end of the Etihad Stadium.

The plans are centred on adding 7,700 additional seats to the second tier of the North Stand, which will take the capacity to around 61,000.

But the redevelopment will also see a new hotel, covered fan park, megastore and a museum built on the campus to further modernise the facilities.

The eye-watering finance committed to the works is expected to take City’s overall spend on infrastructural development in the area – including previous stadium improvements, the training ground and community centres - to £1billion.
