The City of Birmingham Stadium is the name of the proposed stadium for Birmingham City F.C., to replace the current St Andrews Stadium.

The new stadium will be multi-purpose 50,000-seater stadium at the Wheels Adventure Park site in Saltley. Proposals for the stadium include moving tiers of seating, and it could also serve as a cricket and concert venue. There will also be a casino onsite.

However on 20 March 2006 it was announced that the move would be unlikely to happen after Birmingham City Council announced plans to back a rival casino, and not the one at the City of Birmingham Stadium. Rumours of the Birmingham City board trying once again to get the backing of the council have been spreading in the press, however nothing has been confirmed at this time and seems unlikely to happen until Birmingham City return to the premership, if they do return.
