Leeds United have announced new plans to improve Elland Road.

The Whites, who have been at their iconic ground since 1919, hope to increase capacity from 37,645 to 53,000 and hope to do so with minimal disruption.

The club said the move will lead to “greatly improved general admission and hospitality facilities”.

A statement read: “The revitalisation will focus on increasing capacity to the North and West Stands and will be delivered in phases to maintain as much seating as possible during construction.

“The club, along with owners 49ers Enterprises, have brought in specialist acoustic consultants to ensure Elland Road’s unique atmosphere is retained.

“Leeds United’s owners, 49ers Enterprises, have a wealth of experience having built the famous Levi’s Stadium, one of the premier sports and entertainment venues in the world, whilst members of the club’s board are renowned for overseeing successful major real estate projects across the globe.”

As part of the plans, the club says it will be working with architects KSS, engineers Buro Happold and management team RISE, who have helped deliver successful mixed-use projects in the UK.
