Insider Tips
For First-Time Visitors
The stadium tour is excellent and includes the changing rooms and tunnel. The club has created a "City Football Academy" next door. The 93:20 statue celebrates Aguero's title-winning goal. Free matchday car parking is a major plus.
Match Day Tips
Atmosphere has improved hugely - South Stand now generates real noise. The Mary D's pub on the way is a City institution. Try the Bluemoon Belgian beer inside. Easy post-match getaway via Ashburys station.
