BREAKING: Huge new plans revealed for Bradford Bulls' rugby league ground's redevelopment - including largest covered stadium in England and major music venue
The news comes five months after Super League signed a 12-year strategic partnership with IMG - a global leader in sports events, media and fashion - to reimagine Rugby League and its competitions in the UK.
"Rugby League is woven into the fabric of Bradford and the north of England. By building a regional skills centre and the largest permanently covered stadium in the country, we can harness the power of Rugby League to level up again by creating well-paid careers and jobs for thousands of young men and women in Bradford and across Yorkshire and the North East.
“Bradford has a rich history in Rugby League as home to former Super League and World Club champions and an iconic stadium which delivered our sport’s largest ever attendance – a crowd of more than 100,000 people watching this great sport. This world-class complex would put Britain’s sixth-largest city back at the heart of British sport.
“The people of Bradford are passionate about sport and Rugby League so this represents a major opportunity for the city. The ambitious plans that I have been shown will bring increased prosperity, skills, and job opportunities through regeneration of this vital part of south Bradford. The complex would include a multi-storey car park, complete with rooftop sports pitches. The car park would be linked to a park and ride that can dramatically cut congestion and emissions by providing shuttle services for the new sports stadium in Odsal and motorists driving in to Bradford from the M62.
