Diamond experience at Etihad
A new VIP corporate box at Etihad Stadium is being hailed as one of the world's most luxurious.
The new two-storey Diamond Club - complete with private chefs, cocktail waitresses and giant reclining leather seats - has quietly opened on the top deck of the Docklands stadium.
But a day in football heaven won't come cheap.
An annual membership to the club is believed to cost about $12,000.
"We believe we have developed what amounts to the most stylish way of going to a sporting event in the world," stadium boss Ian Collins said.
"I've seen some exclusive and comfortable stadium clubs at venues around the world but I think the Diamond Club is as good as, if not better than, any I have seen."
He said the suite was modelled on the Etihad Airways' international business class lounges - but came with the added value of watching the world's greatest game.
According to the Etihad Stadium website, only 90 memberships are available.
