Sheffield Olympic Legacy Stadium is a stadium under construction in the Olympic Legacy Park. It occupies part of the site of the former Don Valley Stadium, and is the home to Sheffield Eagles rugby league team.

History

On 11 January 2013, Sheffield City Council announced that the Don Valley stadium was to be closed and demolished as part of a £50 million budget-cutting measure.[1] An eleventh hour meeting was held at Sheffield Town Hall on 1 March 2013. Local and national politicians met to discuss the proposed closure and any possibility of preventing it. A final decision was made that the stadium was to close in September 2013[2] and would be demolished from 21 November 2013.

In October 2014, it was announced that the Olympic Legacy Park would be constructed on the site of the old Don Valley Stadium.[3] It was to contain a Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre,[4] an indoor sports arena, a sports pitch and stadium to be home of the Sheffield Eagles, Oasis Academy and University Technical College (UTC). The college, which costed £10 million and is backed by Sheffield College and Sheffield Hallam University, opened in 2016.[5]

On 11th March 2018, the Sheffield Eagles finally made a long-awaited return to Sheffield, after spells playing in Doncaster, Rotherham and Wakefield. The first competitive sporting event played at the OLP ended in a 10-44 loss to the Toronto Wolfpack. This was after the scheduled first game against the London Broncos was postponed due to bad weather conditions. They were joined later in the year by Sheffield United W.F.C. who played their first game at the stadium on 4 December 2018.[6]
