Sheffield Eagles' home ground at Olympic Legacy Park renamed the Steel City Stadium

The home of rugby league team Sheffield Eagles has been renamed the Steel City Stadium.

It has been changed from its previous name of the Community Stadium at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park with the new title designed to better celebrate Sheffield’s industrial heritage and highlight the park’s position as a centre of excellence for innovation in sport, health and wellbeing.

Opened in 2022, the stadium was developed by leading property regeneration and placemaking specialist Scarborough Group International as a multi-purpose venue for sport and business, following an investment of over £10 million.
