It does not mean readers want basic information. Articles do not have to be short to be simple; expand articles, add details, but use basic vocabulary. Be bold! Your article does not have to be perfect because other editors will fix it and make it better. And most importantly, do not be afraid to start and make articles better yourself.

It is also often called "COMS" or "Eastlands". The stadium was designed by Arup and built by John Laing. The stadium was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games at a cost of £110 million. After the Games, it was turned into a football stadium. It became the home of Manchester City F.C. who moved there from Maine Road in 2003 after signing a 250-year lease. The stadium is the centerpiece of Sportcity in the east of Manchester. As of 1 July 2009, it is the fourth-largest stadium in the FA Premier League and the twelfth-largest in the United Kingdom, with 47,726 seats.

Manchester City F.C. signed an agreement with Manchester City Council in March 2010 to allow redevelopment of land around the stadium.
