Plans for a new 350 million-pound stadium near Etihad Stadium agree with the council and are for approval.
The big proposal will be discussed through city planning officials next week.
Planning advisors were advised through the development of plans for officials to approve the proposed 23,500-seat site through the Oak View Group (OVG), which would be the largest in the UK.
The American sports and entertainment company hopes the region will be the most productive in Europe, providing a “world class” live delight for music and sports enthusiasts.
In its offerings, OVG said it could contribute up to 1. 5 billion pounds to the city’s economy for 20 years. The plan was subsidized through two Manchester MPs.
Posted earlier this year by Tim Leiweke, OVG Co-Founder and CEO, said: “Manchester is a thriving city with an iconic history of world-class music, games and entertainment.
We are in an unprecedented moment and stand in solidarity with everyone involved.
“But I know Manchester, and this city has become more powerful than anything that has hit it. We are 100 percent committed to the long term. “
“The city has noticed a transformative expansion in recent years, but without a new arena, it will continue to lose to other cities at some of the world’s most productive events.
The bosses of the Manchester Arena, now the AO Arena, have expressed serious considerations on the proposals. They argue that the city’s economy may be “devastated” by having two rooms.
Amid fears that the new stadium could bankrupt them, plans are being made to expand Manchester Arena’s capacity to 24,000, surpassing the OVG and making this historic centre the largest indoor stadium in Europe.
Tom Lynch, Director of ASM Global, said: “We look to the opportunity to put those plans into action, for the long-term Manchester Arena and the downtown economy that we are proud to support. “
According to plans submitted to the Manchester Council, the OVG Arena would be built on an 11-acre lot near the Etihad which has recently been used as a 500-seat car park for occasions located there.
Inside the auditorium, there will be giant spaces of retractable seats in the lower grades to accommodate uses other than music concerts.
Inside the stadium, there would be multiple aisles and levels, adding open bar VIP lounges that would provide a view of the “on the gods” stage, an “atrium room” and clubs.
From the outside, the building will have a unique look with architectural and LED screens featuring black perforated panels and a glossy finish.
At the public consultation, Manchester City Council examined the prospects of 7,652 households living nearby.
A total of 68 cards were received, adding 10 from other Manchester locations and 28 from other Greater Manchester locations.
Among them, an offer through Blackley and Broughton MP Graham Stringer, who downplayed ASM Global’s considerations by saying that “competition is a smart thing.
The application won 581 objections, basically from other people living outdoors in the city, but in Greater Manchester.
Many say the dominance around Etihad ‘already suffers’ when Manchester City plays at home, with ‘terrible traffic’ and ‘face-to-face’ roads.
One resident said: “People urinate on the streets on the days when they are fit and there are general boos.
“There is not enough on-campus parking and this proposal would further reduce parking.
“This assignment will bring more trafficking and antisocial behavior to a place that already has more than its rightful place. “
Others say the council deserves the remodeling of existing sites such as the Manchester Arena in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
In a report to be presented to the Manchester Planning Committee next Thursday (24 September), plan-making officials say the new arena, and related investment in the city, will be at the heart of the government’s “leveling” agenda.
“Significant market research supports the case for a moment in Manchester, a style that has been followed and thrived in other cities in the UK and the world,” the report says.
“The objections won sought to show that these projections are erroneous and unfounded.
“While there could possibly be localized effects in parts of the city, and some deviation from the existing sand industry, the city center as a whole would gain advantages from the proposals.
