Leeds United Football Club is today (28 April 2025) delighted to unveil proposed images for the enhancement of Elland Road.
This follows on from the plans outlined in September of 2024, to modernise and improve the stadium.
Last week, Leeds City Council’s Executive Board unanimously agreed the regeneration vision and Councillors will now be discussing the pre-application for the modernisation of Elland Road Stadium at a Plans Panel meeting on Thursday 8 May 2025, with the view to increase the capacity from 37,645 to up to 56,500. The estimated final capacity of the design in progress is approximately 53,000.
An evolution of what makes Elland Road great, the revitalisation of the West and North Stands, along with changes to the South Stand, will provide greatly improved general admission and hospitality facilities, to help meet the demand for tickets, with 26,000 supporters currently on the club’s season ticket waiting list.
Fans and members of the local community can visit a public exhibition at the Centenary Pavilion at Elland Road, which will be open on Thursday 22 May and Friday 23 May, or one of two consultation events as part of a community roadshow in Leeds:
The Holbeck Club, Jenkinson Lawn, LS11 9QX
Tuesday 13 May (5pm-8pm)
Public Exhibition at The Centenary Pavilion, Lowfields Road, LS11 0ES
Thursday 22 May (11am-12pm) BSL and Quiet Session
Thursday 22 May (12pm-8pm)
Friday 23 May (2pm-8pm)
Leeds United endeavours to ensure the consultation process is as accessible as possible and would also like to hear your views and thoughts. Feedback and comments can be submitted via EllandRoadExpansion@leedsunited.com.
