The ground will have at least 10,000 seats and connect to the Amex Stadium by a bridge walkway, the club said.
- On Tuesday, Brighton & Hove Albion announced plans for the UK's first purpose-built women's football stadium, an £80 million project at Bennett's Field with a minimum capacity of 10,000 seats.
