Plymouth
Plymouth () is a port city and unitary authority in South West England. It is located on the south coast of Devon, approximately south-west of Exeter and south-west of London. It is bordered by Cornwall to the west and south-west. Plymouth's early history extends to the Bronze Age when a first settlement emerged at Mount Batten.

Stadium
A stadium ( : stadiums or stadia) is a place or venue for (mostly) outdoor sports, concerts, or other events and consists of a field or stage either partly or completely surrounded by a tiered structure designed to allow spectators to stand or sit and view the event.

Stadium For Cornwall
The Stadium for Cornwall was a proposed multi-purpose stadium in Threemilestone, Cornwall, a county within the British Isles. There are no major sports stadia in Cornwall: the largest capacity ground is the Recreation Ground in Camborne. Football club Truro City and rugby union team Cornish Pirates have both advanced plans for a new stadium, with both clubs requiring new facilities if they are to progress in their respective sports. Cornwall Council is developing a business plan for the stadium; although it initially stated any project would have to be privately funded, in April 2018 councillors voted to provide partial funding of £3m towards the estimated total of £14.3m for the project. In June 2022 following Cornwall Council’s withdrawal of funding the Stadium for Cornwall board voted to cease co-developing the Stadium. History Truro City submitted a planning application for a 16,000-seat stadium, costing £12 million, on the site of their existing Treyew Road ground i ...

Treyew Road in Truro was a football stadium, which was the home ground of Truro City until 2021. Prior to its closure, it had a capacity of 3,200, 1,675 seated.

In later years, the ground was renovated, with two new stands on opposite sides of the ground lifting the capacity to approximately 3,000. In 2014, Truro City sold the stadium, and were given four years to relocate. The club were forced to move nearly 90 miles when they groundshared Torquay United's Plainmoor for the first half of the 2018–19 National League South season, before striking an agreement to return to Treyew Road in January 2019. Truro City were bought by rugby union club Cornish Pirates in March 2019, and were set to ground-share at the proposed purpose-built stadium, the Stadium for Cornwall, at some ...
