The Stadium: In November 2010 Saracens, searching for a new home after their landlord, Watford FC activated a break clause in their ground-share agreement, revealed that they were in discussions with Barnet Borough Council about a move to Barnet Copthall.
Under the plan, Saracens would redevelop the stadium into a modern facility with 3,000 permanent seats. Demountable stands would allow a capacity of 10,000 for rugby matches whilst retaining the stadium's ability to host rugby events.
The plans also called for the use of an artificial pitch, the first in English rugby union.
A sponsorship deal with German financial services company Allianz that included stadium naming rights was announced in July 2012.
In June 2013, Allianz Park was voted Small Venue of the Year at the annual Stadium Business Summit Awards in Manchester
The new home of Saracens was short-listed alongside the Adler-Arena in Russia, the New York Stadium in Rotherham, the Netanya Municipal Stadium in Israel, the NV Arena in Austria and the Gallagher Stadium in Maidstone.
