"Speaking at Thursday's launch, Wagner said the arena would be visible from as far as 40 miles away and become a "beacon for excellence for Birmingham". One of the most striking parts of the design is the ring of 12 chimney-style towers surrounding the structure. They nod to the brickworks that once occupied the site and also support the stadium's retractable roof, which can close in around 20 minutes."
"The main bowl has been designed to feel steep and enclosed, concentrating noise back towards the pitch. Inside, supporters are set to find an environment built around more than just football, with areas for markets, food spots, cafes and family-focused spaces woven into the concourses. Birmingham City - currently celebrating their 150th anniversary - hopes the stadium will be ready for the start of the 2030/31 season."
"One tower will house a lift that carries visitors up to a bar with panoramic views across the city. Explaining the thinking behind the look, Wagner said: "The stadium draws upon the proud heritage of the West Midlands - a heritage of industry, ingenuity and growth." The main bowl has been designed to feel steep and enclosed, concentrating noise back towards the pitch."
Birmingham City plans a 62,000-seat stadium called the Birmingham City Powerhouse in Bordesley Green as the focal point of a multi-billion-pound redevelopment. The design features a ring of 12 chimney-style towers that reference former brickworks and support a retractable roof that closes in around 20 minutes, with one tower housing a lift to a rooftop bar. The steep, enclosed bowl concentrates noise towards the pitch. Concourse areas will include markets, food outlets, cafes and family spaces. The project anchors the Sports Quarter on a 48-acre former Birmingham Wheels site, with plans for housing and hotels and a target opening for the 2030/31 season.
