The plan would include the development of a sporting quarter with a 4,00-seater basketball arena for Bristol Flyers, a sports and convention centre, a hotel, office space, retail, gym and club museum as well as an urban village called Longmoor with about 500 residential homes.

Plans remain at the early stages, so for a bit of fun, we asked AI what a new Ashton Gate Stadium could look like by 2030.

The tool we used was NightCafe.

We asked AI site NightCafe to imagine Ashton Gate in 2030... The design is uh rounder and roads surround the perimeter of the stadium.

NightCafe imagines the third residential block rather close to the stadium. Residents on the top floors would be able to watch the matches live from their home.
