MINECRAFT MEGABUILD: Etihad Campus (Manchester City)

My most ambitious project ever is finally here! A project spanning 4 and a half years, I have used every technique I know to produce a stunning replica of the Etihad Stadium along with the vast majority of the Etihad Campus. Initially started alongside the University of Bolton Stadium on November 22nd, 2017, the build was largely neglected until it was restarted on July 16th 2021. At long last the project was finally completed on July 16, 2022.
Enjoy!!

This is without a doubt the best Minecraft stadium build of all time, and possibly the best Minecraft build of all time. The level of detail on this is incredible. I can’t wait to download it and experience the details first hand. This is probably comparable to an actual stadium tour. You consistently raise the bar for stadium builds. Keep up the incredible work 👏

[@Matthew_Rushton]

There are times where I fear I may put tour guides out of a job 🤦‍♂️😂, thank you so much mate that really means a lot! 🙂👍

[@akwarinho]

best minecraft build of all time LMAO are you a non minecraft player?

[@PreFXDesigns]

Don't know if I already commented on this one, but I saw this and my jaw litteraly dropped. Must be one of the best stadiums ever created on MInecraft. The amount of detail is just out of this world, amazing work!

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you so much mate! I definitely won't be doing anything on this scale again though because it takes too long 😂👍

Holy crap! This is incredible, the level of detail is insane, great job

Thank you so much mate! I appreciate that 🙂👊

Geez this was mind blowing in video form and looks better than the photos you showed me. Well done bro I’m proud of you and the effort/dedication going into this project!

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you so much bro! It's a bit sad that I've finally been able to close that chapter of my Minecraft career, but at the same time I'm very happy to have finished it 🙂👍

[@gekjochie]

I just discovered your channel and Im flabbergasted. This is out of this world. by far the best Minecraft stadium ever👏👏.

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you so much! 🙂👍

[@LXofficial_]

This hands down IS the greatest Stadium build in Minecraft. Nothing will beat this. You are at the very top. You are at heights nobody can reach. Keep smashing it mate. Top top class 👏🏼👏🏼

[@callumrusholme8537]

Honestly. It’s unreal how much detail you’ve put into this. I’m a season ticket holder and honestly there’s not one bit of this where it doesn’t look quite right. The background into our history is so accurate too, listening to this reciting names along with you. Fair play mate

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you so much pal I appreciate that! A few of my mates are City fans as well so I've been able to tag along with them for games every now and again (I'm a Bolton fan). I do take issue when people say City have no history because they clearly do, and it was very interesting to learn about some of the things that happened in your past. I think narrating the history in the background of my videos helps to provide a deeper connection with a particular club so I'm glad you were able to follow along and enjoy that 🙂👍

[@callumrusholme8537]

@@Matthew_Rushton good to hear you get down to a couple games mate obviously Bolton is only down the road, but yeah people seem to think if you haven’t won the champions league in your history, you’ve got none to talk about. It definitely gives another dimension to your videos, talking about the clubs history, explains a few roots that you can see within the club, the certain hospitality suites and the statues for example, I don’t know if you put in the joe mercer mosaic in there I’ll have to rewatch the video, but your narration definitely helps focus on a few things dotted around the ‘campus’ that have a deeper meaning to our history. Class video mate and a real talent :)

[@huib8797]

Wow, insane! You can be proud of yourself!

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you so much! I'm definitely honoured to have done this build 🙂👍

[@rhyslucas4194]

This is incredible mate for the past years if doing this you must have thought to give up but its one of the best builds in mincraft by far and you should get noticed buy the public its so good

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you so much mate! To be fair I did start thinking it would be too much of a challenge while I was still on Xbox which is probably why I neglected it for so long 😂, still I'd love it if it got some proper attention, but I'm very happy to have finished it and have the support from everyone 🙂👍

[@lucaep_yt]

The greatest stadium builder, the greatest stadium build, the greatest person, well done mate absolutely outstanding, you should be very proud of yourself definitely the best minecraft stadium build and builder full stop.

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you very much mate that really means a lot! It's funny really that the Etihad started out as my 2nd ever build and ended up finishing as my 13th, and there's no denying I've definitely evolved over that time frame 🙂👍

[@MrGameControler]

Amazing, very surprised by the nice history lesson as well.

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you very much! I do actually enjoy doing the research when it comes to the historical narration so hopefully I feel everybody can also learn a bit more about the clubs. Surprisingly I had to leave a bit out as well for this one 😂👍

This is such a great build and you even built the academy stadium and facilities as well. Massive respect! definitely worth a sub!

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you so much mate I appreciate that! 🙂, It was on and off for about 4 years, but given the proximity of the Academy to the stadium it made sense to do as much of the campus as possible 👍

[@Matthew_Rushton]

@LCGSports I started it in November 2017 but it was largely neglected due to other projects before I restarted it in July 2021

[@planetcraft7433]

Fantastic build, what will be your next big project similar to this? Old trafford with all the surrounds and interior would be awsome.

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you so much pal! Work has slowed down quite a bit because I've got a couple of Uni deadlines over the next week or so. I've got a few Championship builds in the pipeline, namely the City Ground and Ewood Park (the two of the 4 I'm currently doing that are the closest to being finished). I've been looking at Old Trafford for a while now and have devised a strategy in terms of building it (can't leave the other half of Manchester out after all 😂). I doubt interiors would be possible because I know the tour guides there don't like videos being filmed, but it is one that will probably be started when I get an opportunity though 🙂👍

[@coolman6927]

Cheers pal! 🙂👍

[@davidsoler9144]

It's amazing, for all the details and the whole exterior of the stadium, you could make more stadiums like this?

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Thank you so much! I've done 13 others up to this point but I've got more in the pipeline. With me now on PC I should be able to do more in terms of exteriors and landscaping, but I can't see myself doing anything on the scale of the Etihad ever again 🙂👍

[@jackryan1089]

how many times did you want to quit? how did you want to feel when you started and imagined finishing it, how do you feel now after completing it? asking for you a true artist. dedicated to art

[@Matthew_Rushton]

Initially I started it on Xbox and that was really difficult and I did contemplate abandoning it. I think that probably shows why I was so stop start with it and why it was largely neglected for over 3 years 😂. Once I restarted it on PC I approached it in a much more structured way building a layer at a time and I would say the hardest part then was probably the transitional pieces of the roof connecting the South Stand expansion to the rest of the stadium. It was around that point that I decided I would add the rest of the campus to the build to make it the most complex megabuild of its kind, and now that I've accomplished all of that (aside from the addition of Co-Op Live - which could yet be added down the line 👀), I'm very proud of myself and honoured to have done this for the fans of Manchester City and everyone associated with the club 🙂👍
