New drone footage has provided the clearest look yet at the latest stage of the Etihad Stadium expansion.

And the scale of the new North Stand is now really starting to become clear.

North Stand seats are finally in place at the Etihad Stadium

The latest aerial footage shows major progress on the North Stand redevelopment at Manchester City’s stadium.

Large sections of the new seating are now in place, giving supporters their best view yet of what the expanded stand will eventually look like.

The footage also highlights continued work on the roof structure and exterior cladding, with construction still moving quickly around the upper section of the stand.

While there is still plenty of work left to complete, the installation of the seats is another major milestone in the project.

The redevelopment will significantly increase the capacity of the stadium and forms part of the club's wider plans to transform the area around the ground.

The North Stand may still be largely a building site, but with the seating now visible, it finally feels like the project is entering its final stages.

Whether fans love the design or not, there is no denying the scale of it.

City are creating a stand that will dramatically increase the stadium’s capacity and make the Etihad feel even more imposing on matchdays.
