History (from Wikipedia)
Designs for the proposed new stadium were provided by local architects Ward McHugh Associates who had previously undertaken commissions on the redevelopment of the South Stand at Twickenham and Everton's Goodison Park stadium.[6][13]
Planning permission was granted after a public meeting held on 1 July 2008,[14] with the plans forming part of a wider mixed-use development. The land at the site was handed over to the club in February 2009[15] and, after decontamination, construction officially started on Thursday 23 July 2009, overseen by GB Development Solutions.[16] Separate buildings which formed part of the overall scheme included a Tesco Extra superstore, Tesco petrol station, a KFC, an Enterprise car rental and other office facilities.[1]
The new stadium was handed over to the club in July 2010[17] and granted its full capacity licence from the Safety Advisory Group after hosting two limited capacity games against Derby County and Barnsley.[18]
Name changes[edit]
Initial sponsorship under the name the b2net Stadium was revealed on 14 August 2009.[19] However, after two seasons and following the acquisition of b2net by Swedish company Proact,[20] the renaming of the stadium to the 'Proact Stadium' was officially announced on 13 August 2012.[21] Due to UEFA restrictions, when it hosts England youth matches it is known as Chesterfield FC Stadium.[22]
The Proact Stadium, which will become the Technique Stadium effective August 2020.[23]
