New all-wood stadium moves one step closer

Latest News Fri, Dec 6, 2024 7:01 AM

Stroud District Council has approved the external appearance of the new Forest Green Rovers 5,000 capacity stadium.

The decision marks a significant step in the development of the world’s greenest sports complex.

Chairman of Forest Green Rovers, Dale Vince OBE said: “This ground-breaking stadium will provide a new home for FGR. The 5,000-capacity stadium will be the first stadium to be made almost entirely from wood which is beautiful, natural, durable and sustainable.

“We’ve taken a step closer towards the world’s greenest sports complex and a fabulous facility for the local community.”

The concept began in 2015 with a global design competition, culminating in Zaha Hadid Architects winning the bid in 2016. Following years of rigorous planning outline approval was secured in August 2020.

Now, after more than a decade of dedication, the layout, scale and external appearance of the stadium has been approved by the council.

The 5,000 capacity, state-of-the-art stadium for Forest Green Rovers, will be made almost entirely from wood – nature’s original renewable building material – and will offer every fan an unrivalled view of the action.
