Birmingham City unveil concept footage of new £3bn stadium
Birmingham City has provided supporters with a sneak peek at what their future replacement for St. Andrew’s might resemble, revealing concept visuals of a state-of-the-art stadium projected to launch by the 2029/30 season. The Championship club, whose historic ground has been in use since 1906, is working on a venue that could reach a cost of £3bn. The proposed layout aims to increase capacity from 29,409 to an impressive 62,000, elevating it to the eighth-largest stadium in England – slightly bigger than Anfield (61,276) and falling just 850 seats short of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The footage shared by the club showcases a contemporary, “spaceship”-styled exterior dressed in the team’s iconic blue, prominently displaying the word “BLUES” around its exterior. Supporters can also look forward to ample green spaces surrounding the stadium and rooftop sections designed for pre-game enjoyment. Fancy. / BCFC Nick Smith, Birmingham City’s Head of Infrastructure, provided insights into the potential designs, emphasizing that the stadium will also cater to major non-football events. He did indicate, however, that the ultimate design is “subject to change.” While the visuals are captivating, Birmingham is prioritizing their on-pitch performance – they must return to the top tier to ensure they can fill the seats when this innovative new venue finally opens. Otherwise, all the rooftop bars and green spaces will not prevent those seats from appearing a bit vacant. READ THE LATEST FASHION, CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE CONTENT FROM 90MIN
