Man City have put forward plans for the new Etihad arena which would be near the stadium

It is thought the complex will hold a number of high-profile events if given the green light, such as glitzy awards doos.

City would rake-in millions a year from the arena, which is expected to take up to three years to complete.

Artists drawings show the tiered arena, bustling with members of the public near the tram station.

The project already has the full support of Manchester City Council and the majority of the surrounding residents.

This is despite protests from the private owners of the Manchester Arena that would see business taken away from them and the city centre.
