Manchester City Football Club are an English football club based in the city of Manchester. Manchester City’s current stadium is the City of Manchester Stadium, a newly constructed state-of-the-art 48,000-seater stadium situated in East Manchester, leased from Manchester City Council after the 2002 Commonwealth Games. The City of Manchester Stadium has been home to City since the end of the 2002-03 season, when the club moved from Maine Road.
Before moving to the stadium, Manchester City spent about £35million on upgrading it and lowering the field of play from ground level (where it was during the Commonwealth Games) to below ground level, adding an additional tier of seating around the entire pitch and also building the new North Stand
