Leicester City Stadium redevelopment plans
- Thread starter FootyGirl88
- Start date
They've come on leaps and bounds.
Oohh, looks fancy!
Developing your stadium and having state of the art facilities is for amateurs
I get going the Spurs way with the addition of hotels and various activities in the area but isn't only 8000 more seats a bit low ?
The blue thing looks like an inflatable Allianz Arena but nice enough from a distance.

Good things going on with Leicester right now
They are one of the best run clubs in England if not in Europe. Very shrewd in the transfer market with clean and well thought succession plan.
Yeah definitely. You'd think for the price they'd want to up their capacity at least into the 50 thousands.
Just got a text from an unknown Indian number, they're saying this stadium won't have a cheese room.
Will be better than Stamford Bridge..
Would be good to improve that area. It's on the West side of the city which a few apartment buildings, student accommodation and a mini statue of liberty is very underused considering the space. The area they're looking to build on is mostly vacant, if memory serves me right.

Thought that was a dome that can be closed, but it seems as though it’s just a stand expansion. I’ve always wondered why (more) stadiums aren’t built with/don’t build a dome to protect fans from the weather and whatnot. Likely due to costs but football is more enjoyable to me in dry more welcoming conditions
There is loads of brownfield space around the stadium so makes sense to redevelop that too.
Think their location means 40,000 is probably plenty to be honest, I remember reading an article about how Thailand is now where the largest % of their fans are (I think they have usurped United there now but could be wrong) and really who needs a bigger stadium than that bar a couple of huge clubs? Pre-covid Chelsea, Newcastle, Pool, Spuds, WHUM were averaging in the 50's and they are all in major cities bar Newcastle which is just a football mad place. For context, Greater Manchester Police put City's real numbers at sub 40,000 most games...
Looks great.
It'll be interesting to see what the Glazers have planned for Old Trafford.

There's a lovely brownfield site in Shanghai I believe they're looking at
I can vouch for them in Thailand. They are at least level with us but I’d say they’ve overtaken us. Club is going places if the same owners stick around long term. Sustainable and they play good football and develop the right profile of player.
The training ground, the stadium, the playing staff...Leicester's owners walk the walk. Can only respect them (and feel envy).
Impressive.
What a well run and ambitious football club. Great to see.

Great example of owners who actually care about the club, it’s community and the holistic approach that they show in running the club does make you slightly envious doesn’t it 
Smart football club.
Build now, reap the rewards later.

"Attracting a new profile of visitor" 
Has done wonders for Arsenal and Tottenham on the pitch...
Maybe without new stadiums they'd have less commercial income...
40-45000 is plenty for us.
How are Chelsea averaging in the 50s when their capacity is 40?
Sorry had edited it wrong, they were just over 40k average, the rest were 50's. Think max for them is like 42k or just under. Exactly why Leicester don't need more than 40k.
Yeah, but we will announce the first digital stadium that will be accessed through our new sponsors TeamViewer. So Leicester have got nothing on us.
Ah, that would be the old PSG Fair Play Calculator at work there i think.
I can remember when Derby and Leicester were fighting to be the top team in the East Midlands a few years ago. They are worlds apart now.
the other stands can all be easily extended if there is a demand
God...when?
Could potentially cement them as a big club.
Fixed.
Must be nice not having stingy owners. Take note Glazers.
Looks decent.
