Excitement is building at Birmingham City with their new co-owner NFL great Tom Brady due to see his team play against Leeds United today (Saturday, August 12).
He tweeted that he was on his way to St Andrew’s Stadium this morning, saying: “Any plans before kick off guys.”
In light of the seven-time winner of the Super Bowl visiting Birmingham, we’ve taken a look at a few places he may choose to hang out either before or after the game.
Here’s nine suggestions of places for Tom Brady to visit and things to do has he visits St Andrews:
5. Be inspired by One Eyed-Baz’s anti-knife and homelessness campaigns
Former kickboxer Barrington Patterson, known affectionately as One Eyed Baz, died last year, aged 56, but his memory lives on through the Blues. He turned his life around to campaign against knife crime and homelessness in Birmingham after quitting life as a football hooligan. | BirminghamWorld
6. Enjoy a curry
Birmingham is renowned for its first class Indian restaurants and is where the world famous balti dish was created. As such Tom will have a wealth of options to enjoy our traditional dish. There’s our authentic restaurants in the Balti Triangle, or he may prefer to follow the footsteps of fellow Americans Tom Cruise - who dined at Asha’s - or Johnny Depp who hired out Varanasi on Broad Street for £50,0000. | BirminghamWorld
7. Drink exquisite cocktails
There are so many amazing bars in Birmingham serving exquisite cocktails, it’s not easy recommending certain spots above others. But Tom may want to check out Fumo, next to The Ivy and the Oyster Club. Jude Bellingham was there on Friday night (August 11). It might be from the other side of the city, but former Villa star Jack Grealish has been spotted drinking here too. | BirminghamWorld
8. Sleep in luxury at a top rated hotel
With Tom’s Florida home being more than 4,000 miles away, Tom may be looking for a bed in Birmingham tonight. Luckily for him, Birmingham has plenty of luxury hotels to choose from including the Hyatt Regency where many celebrities have stayed, or there’s The Grand Hotel - where Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise visited. Hotel du Vin is also a popular choice for celebrities with David Beckham, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Ant and Dec being spotted there. Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue chose the out of town spot, New Hall Hotel & Spa in Sutton Coldfield. | SWNS
