Congratulations: Canterbury Bulldogs Stadium Demolished to Make Way for World Record Stadium
In a historic move for Australian sport and international stadium development, the beloved home ground of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs has been officially demolished. While this marks the end of an era for Bulldogs fans, it also heralds an exciting beginning—the construction of the *World Record Stadium*, a cutting-edge, world-class arena that promises to set new global standards in design, capacity, sustainability, and fan experience.
The old stadium, affectionately known as Belmore Sports Ground, has held a special place in the hearts of Bulldogs supporters and the wider rugby league community for decades. Its grandstands echoed with the cheers of thousands and witnessed countless moments of triumph, heartbreak, and sporting brilliance. But as sport continues to evolve and grow, so must the infrastructure that supports it.
The decision to demolish the stadium did not come lightly. The planning and consultation process spanned several years and involved collaboration between the local council, state and federal governments, sporting bodies, architects, and community representatives. Despite nostalgic resistance from some quarters, the final decision was driven by a vision to propel Sydney—and the Canterbury-Bankstown region—into the future of global sports entertainment.
**What Will Replace It?**
The replacement, officially named *World Record Stadium*, is a landmark project unlike any other. Once completed, it will become the **largest and most technologically advanced stadium in the world**, surpassing iconic venues such as AT\&T Stadium in the U.S. and Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in North Korea.
Designed by a coalition of internationally renowned architectural firms, the stadium will feature:
* **Seating for 150,000 people**, making it the highest-capacity stadium ever built.
* **A retractable roof** and multi-sport surface adaptable for rugby, football (soccer), concerts, athletics, and even esports.
* **360-degree immersive screen technology**, providing every spectator with an unparalleled view of replays, live feeds, and augmented content.
* **Sustainable engineering**, including rainwater harvesting systems, solar panel roofing, and energy-efficient cooling and lighting systems.
* **Integrated transportation hubs**, with a new train station, expanded bus routes, and even electric air taxi pads planned for the future.
**Community Benefits**
The World Record Stadium is more than a sporting venue—it’s a transformation project for the entire Canterbury-Bankstown district. Officials estimate that the stadium and its associated developments will create over **20,000 jobs** during construction and 5,000 permanent jobs once operational. The precinct will also include retail outlets, dining districts, public parks, entertainment zones, and sports training academies.
Moreover, community use is at the heart of the design. Unlike many major stadiums that sit idle outside of major events, this venue will host daily programs for local schools, junior sports leagues, and cultural events. Residents will have access to wellness centers, swimming pools, and public meeting spaces, all integrated into the stadium’s outer structure.
**A New Era for the Bulldogs**
For the Canterbury Bulldogs, the transition marks the beginning of a bold new chapter. The club has confirmed that it will remain the primary tenant of the new stadium. A temporary home ground has been arranged for the next two NRL seasons while construction is underway, with Bulldogs matches to be played at Accor Stadium in Sydney Olympic Park and selected regional venues to engage broader fan bases.
Bulldogs CEO, Aaron Warburton, expressed both reverence and excitement in a statement:
*“Belmore has been our spiritual home for generations, and we acknowledge the role it’s played in shaping our club’s identity. But this new stadium offers us something extraordinary—a chance to elevate the Bulldogs to a truly global stage, while still remaining rooted in our community.”*
The club plans to honor its heritage with a **“Legends Plaza”** at the new venue, featuring statues, interactive displays, and a hall of fame dedicated to past Bulldogs greats. This initiative ensures that while the bricks and mortar may change, the spirit and history of the club will endure.
**International Recognition**
Global sports authorities and tourism officials have taken notice. The World Record Stadium is expected to draw massive international attention, hosting events such as the Rugby League World Cup Final, FIFA World Cup qualifiers, UFC superfights, and international music festivals. Already, global promoters are lining up to secure dates for performances by megastars including Taylor Swift, BTS, and Coldplay
Tourism Australia projects an annual injection of **over \$1.2 billion** into the national economy due to increased visitor numbers and global media coverage stemming from the stadium’s activities.
**Completion Timeline**
Construction officially begins next month, with a projected completion date in early 2028. The inaugural event is rumored to be a spectacular double-header featuring the Bulldogs against a major international rugby league club and a headline concert from a top international artist.
The demolition of the Bulldogs’ old home may be bittersweet, but it is also the dawn of a visionary future. The World Record Stadium will not only revolutionize the fan experience but also cement Australia’s place at the forefront of international sport and entertainment infrastructure.
As the first bulldozers gave way to dust and applause, one era ended—but another, brighter, more ambitious one began. Congratulations to the Canterbury Bulldogs, their fans, and the entire community: the world is about to watch you rise.
