Super Bowl at Birmingham? Tom Brady in ‘amazing’ admission as NFL legend reacts to grand plans for new 62,000-seater stadium

The Blues are drawing up ambitious plans for the future. American owners are allowing those in the West Midlands to dream big. They are investing heavily on and off the pitch - having seen Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney do likewise at Wrexham.

A stunning new ground is in the pipeline, with Birmingham looking to build a home that would provide a fitting backdrop to the Premier League football that they hope to play in the not too distant future.

Brady forms part of that project, as a minority investor, and he is being swept along for the ride - with the New England Patriots icon figuring prominently in the upcoming Amazon Prime Video documentary ‘Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues’.

Seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady told The Sports Agents podcast when asked if the greatest show in American sport could be brought to Birmingham: “That would be pretty amazing [hosting the Super Bowl]. I don't make all those decisions. I'm not sure how much I can influence those decisions. But I think that my partner, Tom Wagner, is an incredible man, incredible businessman. He has huge ambitions for the club, and I would never bet against anything that he tries to accomplish.

“We want to restore it [Birmingham] to the glory that it's been in the past. To move up and to be promoted to the Premier League is a very daunting task, but it can be achieved.”

Birmingham, who learned important lessons during Brady’s debut season on the club’s board, claimed the League One title with 111 points last term. They have spent big again in the transfer market, with a return to the top-flight very much in their sights.
