Advantages: Great stadium, well situated

Disadvantages: none

One of the more attractive football stadiums in the country, the City of Manchester Stadium was originally built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and is now the home to Manchester City Football Club.
With a maximum capacity of 47,726, it's one of the biggest stadiums in the country.

The exterior of the stadium is pretty and pleasing on the eyes. From its bowl like shape to the spiral paths that lead to the upper tear, CoMS is a modern looking piece of architecture. The spirals were made to look better when they were painted blue.
There are a number of food stands available outside of the stadium so you're never short of choice.

The interior of the stadium is just as nice, especially when filled with the Manchester City faithful on match days.
CoMS has three tiers of seats at either side and two tires at each end with twin scoreboards diagonally across from each other at either end.
Although the atmosphere is quiet at times (mainly due to the club being still relatively new to the stadium), on most match days, the chants of the City fans can be heard from a good distance away and at big matches the atmosphere is amazing.

I've had the pleasure of visiting CoMS hundreds of times as a Man City season ticket holder and also to see a variety of bands play. The stadium sits close the the centre of Manchester and is easy to get to. There are also an excellent amount of parking spaces at the stadium.

The pitch is one of the best in the country and maintains it's high standard for the duration of the footballing season.

Summary: A great stadium
