"Birmingham City have unveiled designs of their striking new 62,000-capacity stadium, the Birmingham City Powerhouse, which the Championship club say will open for the 2030-31 season. The stadium, which features 12 chimney-like towers inspired by the city's industrial heritage, will dominate the Birmingham skyline and be visible up to 40 miles away. One tower will include a lift to Birmingham's highest bar, offering city-wide views."
"The stadium which will include a roof that can retract in 20 minutes and a moveable pitch to enable NFL, rugby and concert use is central to Wagner's vision for a sports quarter in the city, a 3bn investment into a 60-acre site less than a mile from their current St Andrew's ground. We're spending a lot of time and money on a stadium that will never be built, quipped Wagner, alluding to doubters, at the launch of the stadium designs in Digbeth on Thursday."
"We're going to change this city for ever, Wagner said. This will be a sports stadium and music venue that will claim the sky to claim the city."
Birmingham City will build a 62,000-capacity venue called the Birmingham City Powerhouse, targeting a 2030–31 opening. The design features 12 chimney-like towers inspired by the city's industrial heritage and promises visibility up to 40 miles, with one tower housing a lift to the city's highest bar. The stadium will have a retractable roof that operates in 20 minutes and a moveable pitch to accommodate NFL, rugby and concerts. The project anchors a proposed sports quarter and represents a £3bn investment across a 60-acre site less than a mile from St Andrew's. Promotional material features Jude Bellingham, Tom Brady and Paul Anderson.
