Manchester City has announced, it is updating the titles of its current levels, blocks and row numbers as a result of expansion of its home ground, Etihad Stadium.
According to the Club’s official website: “Season Ticket Members will continue to enter the Etihad Stadium via the same turnstile, travel to the same level and then find their way to the same seat.
“The only change will be that the numbers outside the levels, blocks and rows will be visually different.
“This change is the consequence of the Etihad Stadium’s expansion and the introduction of a new single upper tier, as well as new hotel and commercial space, and the need to ensure consistency across all levels of the stadium for all fans.”
Starting from the 2025/26 seaons, the Etihad Stadium’s levels will be as follows:
Level 1 will become Level 0
Level 2 will become Level 1
Hospitality Box-Level will become Level 2
Level 3 will remain the same
The Club continued via its official website: “As well as complying with health and safety guidance, which recommends consistent labelling of levels as part of a stadium’s configuration, we have also received extensive feedback from disabled supporters about the current level titles, which can create confusion, especially when using the lift, as levels are not clearly identifiable.
“As a result of changes to levels, the existing block numbering system will also need to be amended, as the first number represents the level. For example, Block 130 will become Block 030, and Block 230 will become Block 130. Blocks in Level 3 are not impacted.”
