Stadium expansion for Nottingham Forest’s City Ground
The City Ground has been Nottingham Forest’s home on the banks of the River Trent since 1898. The stadium’s expansion will see the existing stand demolished and replaced with a new 10,000-seat structure, establishing the City Ground as the largest football stadium in the East Midlands. The new stand responds to both the stadium’s riverside setting and the ambitions of a club competing at the top of English football.

A three-tier centrepiece
The new Peter Taylor Stand rises across three tiers under a dramatic cantilevered roof, its roofline reaching approximately 67 metres above the riverside, creating a striking new presence on the Trent skyline. State-of-the-art player facilities are housed within the stand, alongside a range of hospitality suites scaled to serve different audience groups on matchdays and a programme of non-matchday uses including conference and event spaces. A new club museum and club shop are incorporated within the ground floor, activating the building’s street-facing frontage. The design draws on best-in-class research into contemporary stadium experience to deliver a stand that meets the expectations of Premier League and European football while retaining the character of one of England’s most historic football grounds.
