City council approves ?350m project at Etihad Campus...

View this email in your browser

TheStadiumBusiness NEWS - Thursday 24 September 2020

OVG''s Manchester arena project gets the green light

Manchester City Council has this afternoon approved plans for a new 23,500-seat arena developed by Oak View Group.

The arena would become the largest in the UK, with OVG pledging that the project will bring ?350m (?382m/$445m) of private investment to Manchester. Pending final confirmation from national planning authorities, OVG plans to begin work on the arena, which would be located on the Etihad Campus adjacent to Etihad Stadium, before the end of the year.

OVG chief executive Tim Leiweke said: "We're delighted that Manchester City Council has given our proposals the go-ahead, and we can't wait to get started."

ASM Global, which operates the nearby AO Arena and has fiercely opposed OVG''s plans, said in a statement today that it will "review all options".
