The City of Salford Stadium is the future new home of Salford Rugby League Club. Salford City Council formed a joint venture company with Peel Holdings[1] to develop and deliver the £16 million stadium,[2] which will form part of the overall £26m development[2] of the area due to be developed in Barton-upon-Irwell, Eccles.
Initially the stadium will be built for a 12,000 crowd but it will be extended to accommodate up to 20,000 over time.[2]. The stadium will have an area designated for standing supporters. This partial-standing design is similar to the Halliwell Jones Stadium, home of Warrington RLFC. The Reds current ground, The Willows, in the Weaste district of Salford, is a much smaller ground with a capacity of around 11,000, with 2,500 seats.
The development will include built-in offices, player facilities, hospitality boxes, concessions, community resources, two community outdoor sports pitches and will be available for business and public hire.
