New Stadium for Manchester City.

I have posted this in the city thread in the good player and team forum aswell, but the thread doesnt seem very active right now.

Im in the year 2020, the best manager worldwide, club legend, won everything including the league for the past 10 years on the trot, but yet still no new stadium.

I know the City of Manchester Stadium is a newish stadium, but surely in the next ten years it would be improved? it seems to got to 60k capacity and no more.

Has anyone got a new stadium for Manchester City before, if so when?

That's what I like to know too. I'm in 2017 with my Man City save and wondering when the club will get a new stadium.

The City of Manchester Stadium have a maximum of 60k extension capacity. So a new stadium is the solution. I'm also a legend on my save.

Seems like I have to play until 2030-2040 to get a new stadium

I've seen City build a new stadium in my own save (I didn't play as them) and this must have been a few years after 2020, can't quite remember.

Same, they always build on a couple years in on mine, usually name it the Tevez Arena or something, weird that you don't have one yet.

The chance of getting a stadium is random, this has been proved by someone who saved the game before the new stadium announcement period and reloaded the game until they got one.

You do need to have three things in place if I recall correctly:

1) You must be filling your stadium and have fans who can not get seats.

2) The council must be blocking your future stadium expansions.

3) You must have a very healthy bank balance at the start of the new stadium period.

I can not find the post, but I think the period in question is may.

So if you satisfy these three criteria, it is then down to a lottery each season if you get a new stadium announcement.

4) At least 20 years must have passed since the last stadium was build.

I am fairly sure I saw some one who broke that rule with Man City, but I could be wrong.

Their moving to Mancini Stadium in June 2020 (6 months time). 79,193 capacity.

BTW they have won 7 leagues (on track for an 8th) and 2 European Cups.

ive won the league for the past 10 years, around 7 champions league, and various domestic cups.

Bank balance doesn't really matter as your board will take out a loan to finance the building of a new stadium if need be.

Iam waiting for a new arsenal stadium iam in 2024 and in FM09 i did get in 2025 or 2026 around 20 years after emirates was open.

In my 10.1 save Man City moved to "Book Park" in 2013 (I think!) so it certainly doesn't have to be 20 years!! They still have Mark Hughes as manager years later as well...

2018 and still no stadium in my save.

You think that's bad? When at Liverpool, I was without doubt the best manager in the game, won the league and FA cup every season, everything else was won most seasons. We were super rich, due to great sponsorship deals and the fact that I was hardly buying anyone, and was selling off talented players. I mean, by the time I left, there was 800 million in the bank.

Yet the board won't build a new one. We were stuck in Anfield the whole time. While I realise I don't have the divine right to get a new stadium, any Liverpool Chairman in that position would have built a new stadium. Which is why I left, and 1 1/2 seasons later am at spurs, and after this season, will be looking to rival my old team and show them what they're missing.

Man City moved to the 64k Goater Stadium in 2019 in mine.

Have had a few new stadiums. I was at Tottenham when they moved to a new 73k Saunders Park, Liverpool moved to 59k Gerrard Stadium, Chelsea to 57k Chelsea Stadium and I was at Forest when they moved to 43k Nottm Forest Stadium (not even cloughie). Tottenham have now moved to a new 104k Rooney Arena.

One thing i have found is that new stadiums all have 65k max expansion (used FMRTE to check). Tottenham would never upgrade despite me selling out for over 10 years hence the new stadium. Also tested it with both Liverpool and City. Both would expand to 65k but then it was always blocked.

65,000 Van Basten Arena in my game. 2023 season.
