City shared their general idea to the public, but were caught out by some eagle-eyed fans.
Many noticed the supporters in the stand are pictured wearing Nike kits rather than Puma shirts, which is the Citizens’ sponsor this season.
One fan tweeted: “Interesting spot on the North Stand stadium expansion pictures City have posted… Why are the kits Nike?”
Another commented: “Two words – Artificial Intelligence.”
A third said: “Possibly AI. But Awkward nonetheless. Puma won’t be pleased.”
This fan wrote: “[It will] Be from back when the original concept was formed but a bit of a slip up from the marketing dept!!”
And that one posted: “Almost definitely AI.”
The Etihad will will also include a roof walk experience and a brand new City Square fan zone with a capacity for 3,000 people.
In addition, there will be food and drink outlet, a club shop, a museum, commercial office space and a 400-bed hotel.
The Premier League champions are looking to turn the Etihad into an entertainment destination.
