Public Consultations Launched To Expand King Power Stadium
Leicester City Football Club (LCFC) has launched public consultations for the expansion of King Power Stadium's capacity to 40,000 and significant developments to the surrounding areas.
The unveiling of the plans begins a period of public consultation, as well as giving the Football Club an opportunity to share its vision for significant enhancements to King Power Stadium and an evolution of areas that have potential to be of great benefit to the city of Leicester.
In-person consultations are available at King Power Stadium during the below periods:
• Friday 13 August, 10am to 5pm
• Saturday 14 August, 10am to 2pm (Matchday vs. Wolves)
The plans will include proposals for the addition of 8,000 seats at King Power Stadium, taking the capacity to 40,000, as well as a 220-room hotel and a multi-purpose event and entertainment arena. There are also proposals for a new Leicester City retail space, residential and commercial space, and multi-storey car parking facilities – enhancements to the site that can further the evolution of both the Football Club and the city.
The developments will further underline Leicestershire’s reputation as a home of world-class sport and create a 365-day destination that will support the regeneration of an area that has been the home of the Football Club for 130 years.
