  • 'Birmingham could pull it off': city considers hosting Commonwealth Games again.
Unveiling of Ozzy the bull statue

    'Birmingham could pull it off': city considers hosting Commonwealth Games again. Unveiling of Ozzy the bull statue
    Pride expressed at unveiling of Ozzy the bull statue as city is called on to step in and save 2026 event.

    Ozzy the animatronic bull was unveiled in its new permanent home at Birmingham New Street station, 26 July 2023.

    It has been one year since a 10-metre tall mechanical bull, now named Ozzy after the Black Sabbath frontman, entered Alexandra Stadium in Birmingham to mark the opening of the Commonwealth Games.

    While hundreds gathered at Birmingham New Street station this week to see the beast unveiled in its new permanent home, there was growing uncertainty about the future of the sporting event after Victoria in Australia, due to host it in 2026, pulled out because of escalating costs.

    Research suggested the Birmingham Commonwealth Games generated a net profit of £100m – a “narrow economic margin” considering it cost £778m to pull off. Most of the cash (£594m) came from central government, while the city council and its partners chipped in £184m, making it.

    A study commissioned by the government earlier this year found the event contributed at least £870m to the UK economy, including £453.7m in the West Midlands.

    'Birmingham could pull it off': city considers hosting Commonwealth Games again. Unveiling of Ozzy the bull statue
    Pride expressed at unveiling of Ozzy the bull statue as city is called on to step in and save 2026 event.

    Ozzy the animatronic bull was unveiled in its new permanent home at Birmingham New Street station, 26 July 2023.

    It has been one year since a 10-metre tall mechanical bull, now named Ozzy after the Black Sabbath frontman, entered Alexandra Stadium in Birmingham to mark the opening of the Commonwealth Games.

    While hundreds gathered at Birmingham New Street station this week to see the beast unveiled in its new permanent home, there was growing uncertainty about the future of the sporting event after Victoria in Australia, due to host it in 2026, pulled out because of escalating costs.

    Research suggested the Birmingham Commonwealth Games generated a net profit of £100m – a “narrow economic margin” considering it cost £778m to pull off. Most of the cash (£594m) came from central government, while the city council and its partners chipped in £184m, making it.

    A study commissioned by the government earlier this year found the event contributed at least £870m to the UK economy, including £453.7m in the West Midlands.
