Overview
- Birmingham City used a supporters’ forum on Tuesday to release 15 new images and outline design changes, including a 4.5° stadium rotation and a new Blues Way walkway for crowd flow.
- Designers detailed a sliding pitch system with about one third moving under the south stand to create a vast concourse for 20,000 home fans and hospitality.
- Access plans call for relocating Adderley Park into the Sports Quarter as a new 12‑carriage station, plus a coach hub to Curzon Street’s HS2 stop, two mobility hubs, and a proposed tram extension to the site.
- The club will submit a full planning application in March 2027, start land preparation beforehand, and target a roughly three‑year build with safety test events in early 2031 ahead of a possible 2031/32 season start.
- The wider Sports Quarter includes four fan parks and new public ‘character zones’ alongside a training centre, a women’s stadium, an arena, and housing aimed at renewing Bordesley Green.
