Manchester City fans attending the Etihad Stadium on Sunday for the title showdown with Arsenal may have to change their usual matchday routine, with a new parking scheme around the Etihad Stadium limiting where supporters can park when events are taking place.
From Monday this week the new Eastlands Residents Parking Scheme has taken effect, limiting parking for Manchester City and Co-op Live ticket holders. Manchester Council say the scheme is required due to next month's scheduled opening of the new 23,000-seater Co-op Live arena next to the Etihad, with a 6,000-seat expansion also being built at City's home in time for the 2025/26 season.
The new restrictions will be in place around the two venues from midday to 11pm every day, ensuring residents and their visitors can park close to their properties rather than have fans take up spaces. Short-term parking up to 90 minutes will also allow customers visiting shops and businesses in the area to continue as normal.
