New stadium effect

We know that it all turned out alright in the end, but Leicester first few years at the King Power Stadium (Walkers Stadium, at the time) much have made fans wish they'd never left Filbert Street.

After winning promotion in 1996, the Foxes finished 9th, 10th, 10th, 8th and 13th before being relegated in the final season at their old ground. The first season at the Walkers Stadium saw the club promoted. They were relegated at the first attempt, spent 3 years in mid- table in the Championship before being relegated the England's 3rd tier.

All-in-all, Leicester's average league position fell from 17th to 32nd - one of the biggest drops on our list.

Off the pitch, the much bigger £37m arena saw attendances jump 29% from 18,882 to 24,420. The club's season in the 3rd tier attracted about the same average attendance as their years in the Premier League at Filbert Street.

Leicester to increase King Power Stadium capacity to 40,000

Sunday 15th August 2021

Leicester City have revealed plans to increase the capacity of the King Power Stadium to 40,000.

The Premier League side will increase the capacity from its current 32,000 by adding 8,000 seats onto a new tier of a remodelled East Stand.

The project will also include a new events arena, 220 bedroom hotel and a new club megastore, as well as a multi storey car park, office space and a residential tower.

Nothing has been confirmed in terms of timelines or cost, but the club is hoping to apply for planning permission in the Autumn, after a public consultation.

If the plans go ahead, it will make the King Power one of the largest football stadiums in Europe and be added onto our European Football Grounds Poster.
