申辦2018年世界盃及2012年奧運會

In 2009, Pride Park was earmarked as a possible World Cup venue when Derby County announced its intention to apply to be one of the host cities as part of England's bid for the 2018 World Cup Finals, with Derby Chief Executive Tom Glick saying that "What we [the board] know is that Derby already has the core elements to be a host city... We are going to find out what the requirements are but we are certainly expecting that the requirement would be at least 40,000 seats. The ability to do that at Pride Park Stadium exists, the land exists. So we know that if we were successful, that is something that could be done".

To qualify as a host stadium the ground would need to expand to at least 40,000 capacity and the club announced that three methods could be undertaken to achieve this – two of which would leave the stadium permanently expanded. Option A would see the additional capacity supplied by temporary stands erected behind each goal, removing the current roof, and be supported by steel structures, with all the stands removed after the World Cup and the original roofing replaced. Option B would also see temporary seating built in the north and south stands as well as an additional structure placed on the east stand which the club could choose to keep, increasing the capacity to 39,000. The final Option, C, would see the removal of seating from the north, south and east stands and three new 20 row decks placed in each stand. This again came with the option of retaining the east stand expansion, raising the stadium capacity to a permanent 37,000. The club itself stated that it preferred to explore temporary, rather than permanent, expansion, saying "We'd like to meet the World Cup standards for matches when it comes to expansion but then perhaps scale down the stadium to something closer to where we are right now. That way, we can keep the intimacy and special atmosphere that has almost become a hallmark of going to a Derby County match. When the team play at home, having a full stadium is a huge advantage because it creates a brilliant atmosphere. What we wouldn't want to do is have a stadium that all of a sudden was too big after the World Cup had gone." On 16 December 2009, Derby's campaign was rejected by the FA, along with Hull and Leicester. Tom Glick later commented, "We're all greatly disappointed. Thousands of hours of hard work has been put in across the city from a number of agencies. We need to get some feedback as to why the bid was not successful."

The club was later unsuccessful in its attempt to be the midlands football venue for the 2012 Summer Olympics, losing out to Coventry City's Ricoh Arena, with the Selection Committee citing the fact the stadium "has fewer dressing rooms and no hotel" in comparison to the Coventry-based stadium.

紀念設施

In 2008 a 9'0 high bronze statue of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor - who had managed the club between 1967 and 1973 - was commissioned to adorn the north west portion of the ground to be called Unity Plaza. The statue was designed by Andrew Edwards and features both Clough and Taylor holding Football League First Division which they won with the club in the 1972. It was unveiled on August 27th 2010.

On January 17, 2009, a bust of Steve Bloomer was unveiled next to the home dugout.

非打比郡賽事

As one of the largest football grounds in the Midlands, Pride Park has also hosted some notable matches not connected to Derby County.

The ground has hosted four England U21 matches. The first was on 9 February 1999, a friendly match against France, which ended in a 2-1 victory to England. The crowd of 32,865 was the highest to watch the U21 in England since 1983. The next two fixtures were both European Championship Qualifiers, with 30,155 seeing a 1-1 draw with Germany on 6 October 2000 and 32, 418 saw a 1-0 victory over Holland on 13 November 2001. The most recent match was on 6 February 2007, when 28,295 saw a 2-2 friendly draw between England U21 and Spain U21, a match which was the first match under the tenure of current England U21 manager Stuart Pearce. It also hosted one full England international; a 4–0 friendly victory over Mexico on 25 May 2001. The match also holds the record for the highest attendance at the stadium: a full-house of 33,598.

Away from the England national side, the stadium hosted a friendly between Brazil and Ukraine on 11 October 2010. The match ended in a 2-0 victory for Brazil, Daniel Alves and Pato scoring the goals, in front of a crowd of 13,088 live spectators and TV viewers in over 100 countries. Though Brazil coach Mano Menezes bemoaned the low turnout ("I expected more fans but I think it was a good game.") though Derby Chief Executive Tom Glick declared himself relatively pleased with the turnout, stating "I think everybody was hoping that we'd have a sold out crowd of over 30,000 but, realistically, time was working against us. We only had 13 days to sell the tickets and a big crowd just wasn't on the cards. But I think we've proven that we can turn it around, operationally. The promoter, Kentaro, has seen that. So we have done ourselves a favour in terms of bringing something else like this back again and we will continue to pursue things like this."

Away from international football, on 4 May 2009, Pride Park hosted the 39th FA Women's Cup Final, which saw Arsenal run out 2-1 victors over Sunderland to win the cup for a record fourth consecutive time, in front of a crowd of 23,291.

Although primarily a football venue, Pride Park Stadium has also hosted events away from sport. It first hosted Rod Stewart on the 26th June 2005, whilst touring his Stardust: The Great American Songbook, Volume III album. This was followed by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, who played at the ground as part of the tour for their Stadium Arcadium album on the 5th June 2006.
