Ashton Gate Stadium Redevelopment

Ashton Gate Stadium has today revealed comprehensive plans for a £100m development to extend the stadium footprint to encompass a new sports and entertainment quarter for the city.

The centrepiece of the proposed development is the Ashton Gate Sports & Convention Centre – a 4000-capacity venue which will provide a permanent home for Bristol Flyers basketball team. The proposal includes additional housing, offices, a multi-storey car park along with two hotels.

Speaking of the proposed development, Ashton Gate chairman Martin Griffiths said:

“We are pleased to be able to reveal these plans. It has been more than two years in the planning to ensure that Phase II of Ashton Gate’s redevelopment into a city quarter focused on sport and entertainment was indeed viable, sustainable and most importantly achievable.
