The long-awaited vision for Birmingham City's future home will be revealed to the public today, marking a pivotal moment for the club and the city.
A Landmark Vision for Birmingham
Club chairman and Knighthead founder Tom Wagner will personally unveil the design for the proposed new stadium at a special event in Birmingham city centre. This announcement fulfils a promise made when the American investment firm took control of the club over two years ago, with the ambitious Sports Quarter project now taking a major step forward.
The scale of the project is immense. The stadium is planned to be the centrepiece of a vast 135-acre development, a significant expansion from the initial 48-acre Birmingham Wheels site that Knighthead purchased in April 2024. The firm has since acquired additional surrounding land to realise this grand vision.
The Grand Unveiling
Joining Tom Wagner for the grand reveal will be key figures who have shaped the project. Acclaimed film director and Blues fan Steven Knight, who served on the design committee, will be in attendance. They will be joined by Eliot Postma, an architect from the renowned Heatherwick Studio, giving a strong indication of the design's potential architectural significance.
The new arena is confirmed to have a capacity in excess of 60,000 people, positioning it as one of the major sporting venues in the UK and a primary attraction within the new Sports Quarter district.
What Happens Next?
This unveiling on November 20, 2025, moves the project from concept to a tangible design, generating crucial excitement and feedback from the fanbase and the wider community. The development of the Sports Quarter is set to transform a significant area of Birmingham, creating a new hub for sport, business, and community life. Live updates and full reaction from the event will be provided by journalists covering this historic announcement for the club.
