Scotland's only professional basketball franchise has unveiled images of their new £20 million stadium.

Caledonia Gladiators have showcased their new multi-million-pound stadium exactly one month before the first game at their new home.

A range of CGI images by Holmes Miller shows what fans can expect to see when the venue opens up at PlaySport Scotland leisure complex in East Kilbride.

The images also offer a glimpse of the new fan zone for fans of the BBL Trophy winners, which has seated eating areas for supporters and big screen TVs showing the courtside action.

The images of the 1,600-seater temporary arena include artist’s impressions of the club’s new court, and Saltire-branded stands.

It comes as excitement builds at the club ahead of its first match at the stadium on Thursday 5 October, when the men’s team host the Surrey Scorchers in the BBL.

The women’s first game will take place on October 22 against Durham Palatinates in the WBBL.

The project backed by owners Steve Timoney and his wife Alison is the largest single investment in Scottish basketball history and is expected to be finished in the coming weeks.

Steve said: “We’re really proud of how the new stadium is coming together and pleased to able to share CGIs with supporters showing how impressive it will look once completed.

“It’s a hugely exciting time, with a hive of activity at the club as the final touches are put on the arena, and everyone can’t wait for fans to experience the new stadium in the flesh next month.

“We’re confident PlaySport will be one of the finest basketball facilities in Europe once the final project is completed, and this stadium is a key part of those plans.”

Once completed, work will then begin on developing the main project, a new state-of-the-art purpose-built 6,000-seater arena and practice and community facility.

Ethan Kennedy, architect at Holmes Miller said: “Basketball is a rapidly growing sport in the UK, and the Caledonia Gladiators have grand ambitions for their new home as a centre for Scottish basketball.

“Through Holmes Miller's extensive experience in sports architecture, and our work alongside event venues such as the SEC Hydro, we have been able to develop creative solutions in reusing the existing vacant spaces of Playsport.

“The team is especially proud of the new fan zone space that will be unique to this type and scale of venue and will offer an excellent fan experience and added value to the club.”
