Blue Jay “Based in Brum” Crew Hits the Track at Alexander Stadium

The Blue Jay “Based in Brum” crew were thrilled to be invited to film at Alexander Stadium, the iconic centrepiece of the Commonwealth Games. It was an incredible opportunity to step behind the scenes and experience the excitement of a world-class sporting event.

Participants had the chance to interview athletes, honing their journalism and communication skills in a real-world environment. With exclusive access to the press area, the crew practiced professional interview techniques, captured live reactions, and became part of the action, learning what it takes to work in sports media.

This experience not only provided hands-on training but also offered an unforgettable glimpse into the energy, precision, and dedication that go into major sporting events — inspiring the next generation of media professionals from Birmingham.
