Bradford submit plans for Odsal to become 25,000-seater indoor 'Wembley of the north'

The Bradford Bulls could soon be playing at the ' Wembley of the North' after plans were submitted for a 25,000-seat indoor arena on the site of their current Odsal Stadium.

Bradford Council have submitted the provisions, that would see the site completely transformed. The new arena would retain Odsal's famous bowl structure but would also be used to host music and entertainment events to help embrace Bradford becoming UK City of Culture in 2025.

The Odsal site has long been dubbed a potential 'Wembley of the North', albeit without the 90,000 capacity the London based-stadium can boast. The Bulls actually left their current home in 2019 amid escalating costs and relocated to Dewsbury as they tried to recover from going into liquidation, only to return to the venue in May last year.
