History made at the Alexander Stadium!
The Alexander Stadium has held its first athletics event since undergoing a £72 million redevelopment.
The UK Midlands Army Athletics Championships were staged at the venue in Perry Barr on 20 April.
A crowd of over one thousand spectators watched 350 British Army athletes compete in track and field events.
To round off a superb day, the Red Devils, the Army Parachute Display Team, spectacularly jumped into the Alexander Stadium as part of the event’s closing ceremony.
Next month the stadium will host the Muller Birmingham Diamond League before the Commonwealth Games begins in July.
