Forest Green Rovers' All‑Wooden Stadium Approved

Stroud Council Approves External Appearance Of All‑Wooden Stadium

A rendering of the outside of the all-wooden stadium for Forest Green Rovers Stroud District Council has approved the external appearance of the new FGR 5,000 capacity stadium. The decision marks a significant step in the development of the world’s greenest sports complex.

Chairman of Forest Green Rovers, Dale Vince OBE said: “This ground‑breaking stadium will provide a new home for FGR. The 5,000‑capacity stadium will be the first stadium to be made almost entirely from wood which is beautiful, natural, durable and sustainable.

“We’ve taken a step closer towards the world’s greenest sports complex and a fabulous facility for the local community.”

The concept began in 2015 with a global design competition, culminating in Zaha Hadid Architects winning the bid in 2016. Following years of rigorous planning outline approval was secured in August 2020. Now, after more than a decade of dedication, the layout, scale and external appearance of the stadium has been approved by the council.

The 5,000 capacity, state‑of‑the‑art stadium for Forest Green Rovers, will be made almost entirely from wood – nature’s original renewable building material – and will offer every fan an unrivalled view of the action.
