Nottingham Forest details City Ground renovation

One of the planned renovations at City Ground is increasing its capacity to 40,000 from 29,550Getty Images

Premier League club Nottingham Forest has unveiled its detailed plans for renovations at City Ground, though there are "still obstacles to negotiate." Work is "underway" at the stadium, with "a new 'corner box' of executive suites" on each end to be "built from shipping containers." Other renovation plans include: 

  • Increasing the stadium’s capacity to 40,000 from its current level of 29,550.
  • Extending the Bridgford Stand by another 5,000 seats, to go with replacing the Peter Taylor Stand with a two-tier 10,000-seat replacement.
  • Building a new "state-of-the-art" training ground, with an announcement "expected soon" about location. 
  • Opening a museum "in the bowels of the Trent End."
  • Extending the current lease with Nottingham City Council, which owns the land the stadium sits on, or "potentially buying the freehold" (THE ATHLETIC, 2/16).
