Images show what Birmingham City’s new 60,000 seat stadium could look like in 2027

After a brilliant start to their League One campaign, Blues fans are dreaming of a brighter future.

The club’s American owners Knighthead Ltd confirmed back in April that the club had purchased the 48-acre former Wheels site on Bordesley Park to build Birmingham City’s new stadium.

It will also be the club’s new home for training with more than 3,000 jobs expected to be created as part of the redevelopment plans at the site. There are plans for the stadium to possibly hold up to 60,000 seats. In an interview with Sky Sports News, Blues chairman Tom Wagner previously said they want the stadium to host ‘international sporting events.’

“It would be ideal to host NFL events,” he said.

What the stadium could look

New research from OLBG has revealed what the stadium could look like if the club reach the Premier League in the coming years.

When asked how a new Birmingham City’s stadium would look should they reach the top flight, Chat GPT gave five precise visions of what fans might need to expect in the foreseeable future.

They included: A capacity of 50,000 seats to meet the demands of their fanbase in the top-flight, a sustainable design featuring eco-friendly features like solar panels, and efficient lighting state-of-the-art facilities including a partly retractable roof as well as hybrid pitches.

The huge new Midlands attraction would be a huge advancement on their current St Andrew’s home in terms of size, with modern features including huge open areas for fans to meet.

The interior would include 360 floodlights and two tiers around the stadium with big screens for fans to get a closer look at the action should they climb back up to the top flight.

Solar panels are likely to be a feature of the new stadium with the club potentially considering a retractable roof to further boost revenue with sporting events and concerts.
