​Plans unveiled for UK’s first all-electric stadium

The EFL League One club Oxford United FC has further specified the plans for the construction of its new stadium. According to the club, the new stadium will be the first all-electric soccer stadium in the United Kingdom.

As part of the club’s pledge to deliver a state-of-the-art stadium it has outlined further details behind the proposed low-impact development. The club would use a low-carbon energy supply to create an ‘all electric’ stadium, with power also generated by solar panels. Jon Clarke, Development Director at Oxford United, said: “The standout element of the stadium is it will be the most sustainable mid-sized sports venue in the country. We want to make the most of the opportunity to create something special – it would be one of the greenest football stadiums to be built.”
