Stadium Name: The Forge
A tribute to Birmingham’s industrial legacy—evoking the image of molten metal, craftsmanship, and relentless energy.
⸻
Exterior Design: Inspired by Lucas Oil Stadium
Architectural Style:
• Neo-industrial with modern elements: Brick, steel, and glass merge in bold geometric patterns.
• Materials: Red and dark brown brickwork, exposed structural steel, matte black metal panels—mirroring Birmingham’s foundries and workshops.
• Roofline: Echoes Lucas Oil’s retractable roof style, but shaped to evoke the angular rooflines of old factories.
Key Feature:
• A massive, steel arch “gantry” above the main entrance, engraved with the words “Ardua ad Alta”— the University of Birmingham motto and a nod to the club’s past and future.
⸻
Interior Design: Inspired by Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Seating Bowl:
• 360° single-tier safe-standing wall behind one goal—mirroring the Tilton Road End, with lighting effects and massive flags.
• Dynamic LED ribbons ring the bowl, capable of city-wide light shows for matches, concerts, or civic events.
• Steel catwalks above the bowl recall industrial gantries and support lighting rigs and sound systems.
Roof:
• Retractable “gear-shaped” roof panels, inspired by Mercedes-Benz Stadium’s halo design—but styled like interlocking cogs or machine parts.
• Central opening forms a circular skylight, casting natural light onto the pitch.
⸻
Fan Zones & Facilities: Industrial Meets Modern
Exterior Plaza (The Yard):
• Open public square with sculptures of steelworkers, local inventors (like James Watt), and even a repurposed blast furnace as a monument.
• Street food stalls housed in converted shipping containers, celebrating multicultural modern Birmingham.
Interior Concourse:
• Walkways styled like Victorian-era railway stations (arched glass roofs, ironwork), fused with digital art installations by local artists and youth collectives.
Museum & Club Shop:
• On-site museum called “The Foundry” exploring BCFC’s and Birmingham’s industrial rise, music scene, and working-class spirit.
⸻
Environmental & Social Features:
• Hydro-electric LED roof panels and rainwater harvesting—green energy meets gritty realism.
• Youth Tech Hub under the stands, supporting local STEM programs.
• Local apprenticeships in metalwork and construction during the stadium build—literally involving the city’s next generation in its future.
