🤯 From 30,000 to 62,000 seats: 2. Bundesliga club building a giant stadium | OneFootball

The English second division club Birmingham City has unveiled its plans for a new stadium. But instead of a (as so often) moderately ambitious expansion, this is about something truly wild. 

This is how the current employer of former Werder star Marvin Ducksch plans to soon move from its current venue, St. Andrew’s Stadium, to the new so-called "Birmingham City Powerhouse Stadium." The planned stadium is intended to represent Birmingham’s industrial heritage through its twelve furnaces. 

Additionally, both the field and the roof are to be flexible for various events. The new arena could therefore also be used for other sports or, for example, for concerts. 

The architecture firm responsible for the new venue, "Manica Architecture," is already familiar with football stadiums. The company was involved in the renovation of Camp Nou, for example. They also helped develop the "Lusail Stadium," which was built in Qatar for the controversial 2022 World Cup. 

Now it’s your turn: Do you like the stadium, or do you think this thing could flop? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
