Barton, City of SalfordCoordinates 53°28′18″N 2°22′30″W / 53.471547°N 2.374978°WCoordinates: 53°28′18″N 2°22′30″W / 53.471547°N 2.374978°W Owner Peel Holdings & Salford City Council Surface Grass Construction cost £26 Million[1] Main contractors Buckingham Group[2] Capacity 12,000[1] Tenants Salford City Reds The Salford City Stadium is the future home of Salford City Reds in Barton-upon-Irwell, Eccles in Greater Manchester.[3] 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 a £26m development[2] close to the Manchester Ship Canal and the M60 motorway in Barton, in the City of Salford.
Initially the stadium will accommodate a 12,000 crowd but could be extended to accommodate up to 20,000 spectators.[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 Wolves. The Reds' current ground, the Willows, in the Weaste district of Salford, is a similar sized ground with a capacity of around 11,000, with 2,500 seats.
The development will include offices, player facilities, hospitality boxes, concessions, community resources, and two community outdoor sports pitches and will be available for business and public hire.
In anticipation of its completion the stadium is bidding to be a host venue during the 2013 Rugby League World Cup[4]
