Location and Venues
The Sportcity complex is based in east Manchester, in Beswick and Bradford. A visitor centre provides information the site's history from a heavily industrialised area to its ongoing regeneration. The Etihad Campus Metrolink station on the Manchester Metrolink close to Joe Mercer Way became operational on 11 February 2013.
Sportcity was the proposed location for a SuperCasino which, it was hoped, would spur re-generation in the area, but the plan was rejected by the House of Lords.
