The development that will also include a women’s stadium and various entertainment venues will have an estimated cost of around £1.2 billion.
Wagner claimed that the stadium will become a reality in the next five years and will include features like an interchangeable pitch and a roof that will close within 20 minutes, along with 12 chimneys.
