Salford City Stadium is the home of Salford City Reds rugby league club in Barton-upon-Irwell, Greater Manchester, England.[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.

Initially the stadium will accommodate a 12,000 crowd but could be extended to accommodate up to 20,000 spectators.[2]. The stadium has areas designated for standing supporters. This partial-standing design is similar to the Halliwell Jones Stadium, home of Warrington Wolves. The Reds moved from their previous ground, the Willows, in the Weaste district of Salford, following the conclusion of the 2011 Super League season.

The development includes offices, player facilities, hospitality boxes, concessions, community resources, and two community outdoor sports pitches and is available for business and public hire.

In anticipation of its completion, in 2011 the stadium successfully bidded to be a host venue during the 2013 Rugby League World Cup[4].
