Facility Notes: Hilton Opens 150-Room Hotel At Old Trafford Cricket Ground

Hotel company Hilton "opened a 150-guestroom hotel" at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. The venue, overlooking the home of Lancashire County Cricket Club, is the "first of the Hilton Garden Inn brand to launch in Manchester." Of the 150 bedrooms, 85 offer views of the cricket field. Hilton confirmed "plans to convert some of the rooms featuring balconies into hospitality boxes on match days" (BDAILY, 9/5).

A group of urban free climbers "recorded themselves breaking into" Man City's Etihad Stadium and "climbing all the way onto the roof, before being led away by a police officer, in a worrying breach of security." Free climber Ally Law has more than 130,000 subscribers on YouTube. His last video shows him breaking into Man City's ground with a group of friends (London INDEPENDENT, 9/5).
