However, returning to the championship seems to be not a dream limit for the leadership of Blue. The club, inspired by the latest successes of its primordial competing companions from Aston Hilla, plans to return to the Premier League shortly, not simply, but with one of the best infrastructures for the local clubs.
Do you say that it is funny, and that Birmingham cannot reach with Grands like Manchester City or Chelsea? In fact, Birminghamians have been carrying very ambitious plans for a year, a “cherry on the cake” that has the construction of a new super -modern stadium capable of accommodating 60 thousand fans. And not just bear, but are actively working on the implementation of this idea!
Recently, Jeremy Dale, CEO of Birmingham City, has recently shared the information about the Sun tabloid, which made it clear that the construction of a new stadium would be only part of the development of sports infrastructure in the east of the city, which will take several billion pounds.

Now Birmingham City accepts rivals at St. Endrim Stadium, which is able to accommodate about 30,000 fans and was opened in December 1906 “The central element of this project costing £ 3 billion is a multi -purpose stadium for 60,000 seats that you have never seen before. Leading world architects compete for a stadium design contract, which will include a sliding field, which will also allow us in the future to take non -sports measures such as concerts. ”
“The idea is that Birminghama’s new arena will be a landmark structure, a kind of” sports conflict “, which respects the local heritage and provides a year -round space for events related to sports, culture, rest, entertainment, retail trade and education.”
“We have been working on this for a year. 75 consultants are already working on the project, the master plan and the business plan. This is extremely interesting, ”Dale said.
It is believed that the ideologist of implementation of such large -scale and ambitious plans is the minority shareholder Birmingham Brady. This 47-year-old American is well-known over the ocean because he was a professional athlete and completed his career only in 2022, spending twenty-three seasons in Quotterbeck’s position in the National Football League (NFL) for New-Ingland Petriots and Tampa-Bay Bay Bay.
In the summer of 2023, Brady bought part of Birmingham’s shares, becoming the chairman of the advisory council of this club, the main owner of which remains another American – Tom Wagner. Together, they intend to achieve that Blue to return to the APL over the next few years, and by this time, the club is expecting to complete all the construction of the new stadium.
At present, there are not even the simplest visualizations of the new Birmingham City stadium. The project of the sports quarter will be presented in 2026, and if everything goes according to the plan, construction will begin in 2028. The Tottenham Stadium, which was opened just over six years ago-in the spring of 2019, will be a benchmark for architects and builders.

Tottenham Stadium is a standard to be guided by Birmingham City The new home arena “Spurs” is considered – and not only in England – the most interesting project of sports infrastructure, built in recent years. This stadium is capable of taking competitions in several sports, alternating two game coverings, as well as concerts, cultural events, trading exhibitions and corporate meetings. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium successfully accepts NFL games on a synthetic lawn, which moves in three sliding sections moving with 168 special wheels.
Something like this want to organize at their new stadium and Birmingham boss, which is not surprising given the successful experience of Tom Brady in the NFL. If we take the benchmark of the spurs are, then the “blue” will also have to realize the idea with a sliding field consisting of three sections weighing 3000 tons each, with 33 pallets for the lawn, which are easily connected to each other. The Tottenham Hotspur System is fully automated, and the field can be returned to the starting position with one clicking of the button.
At the same time, Daily Mail informs its readers that Birmingham City Boso plans for the construction of a new stadium “are not similar to anything else that has been issued earlier in this country.” The source of the publication visited the pre -season meeting of “blue” in Portugal, where it was possible to find out as best as possible what specifically the idea of the management of Birminghams.
It turns out that in addition to the huge super -modern stadium, Birmingham also expects to build a whole sports quarter, which will include 19 stunning fields, as well as a modern training base and the Academy for young players. All this testifies to one thing – American investors want to see Birmingham among the best football clubs in England, and plan to be no less grand project than in Manchester City or Chelsea.
But while infrastructure ideas will systematically be converted into reality, Birminghama will be set a specific task-returning to the Premier League in fifteen years in fifteen years. However, there is a significant obstacle here – the so -called “parachute” payments, as a rule, very much help teams that have flew from the APL in the previous season look more competitive, both in financial and staffing plans, against the background of competitors. And in the case of Birmingham, it also refers to a team that has just increased from League 1, so “blue” is quite easy to achieve their sports tasks in the next season, but look at them is still worth it. Moreover, some English observers have already said that the current plans of Birmingham City bosses smell openly something like madness …
