SEE INSIDE: Villa Park reconstruction as diggers tear down stands and rubble piles high!

Aerial footage showed crews working on the reconstruction of Villa Park, the home of the Aston Villa Football Club (FC), in Birmingham, England, on May 27. This drone footage was captured by YouTuber CC OVERVIEW. It shows excavators working outside the stadium along with piled-up stadium seats. Aston Villa FC announced an “accelerated timeline” to redevelop the North Stand in April. “The redevelopment supports the club’s broader strategy by increasing overall stadium capacity to over 50,000 and maximizing the benefit to the club and local area of all events held at Villa Park, including UEFA Euro 2028,” according to the press release. “The redevelopment will also deliver substantial football infrastructure benefits, including the creation of approximately 500 square meters (about 5,382 square feet) of new first-team changing, medical and physiotherapy facilities, alongside the upgrade of all player competition areas.” Credit: CC OVERVIEW via Storyful #astonvilla #football #sports #villa #avfc #worldcup Follow us on our Social Media channels: Facebook:   / birmingham.live   Instagram:   / birmingham.live   TikTok:   / birmingham.live   Twitter:   / birmingham_live   Download our APP: App: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/apps/ Find out the latest happening in Birmingham: Website: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/ If you have a story tip or something you feel we should be investigating, you can email bmailsocial@trinitymirror.com LIKE | COMMENT | SUBSCRIBE | SHARE
