New stadium - pitch trays moving into position

We’ve another milestone at our world-class new stadium this week – with the NFL pitch now complete, the sliding pitch trays that will carry the turf are being moved into position.

Designed, engineered, built and installed by Sheffield-based engineering specialist SCX, the ground-breaking retractable pitch at our new home is made up of three huge sliding pitch trays – these trays made up of 33 smaller trays.

For more on the technicalities of the pitch, take a look at this story where we talk to the key stakeholders on the project...
