Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park Community Stadium naming rights sponsor up for grabs

A rare opportunity to become the first official naming rights sponsor of the new Community Stadium at Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park is up for grabs.

Scarborough Group International (SGI), which is developing the stadium as part of its wider development agreement with Sheffield City Council for the park, has invited businesses to become the official namesake of the venue.

Due to open in March 2022, the stadium features an outdoor 3G football pitch, three-storey, covered grandstand with initial seating capacity for up to 758 spectators, rising to 3,900 in future development phases, as well as ancillary space. In addition, it also benefits from 23,000 sq ft of commercial space, including four ground-floor retail units and two upper floors of flexible workspace and hospitality space.
