Scheme designed by KSS will take seating capacity up to 40,000
Leicester City Football Club has unveiled plans to expand its home ground and redevelop the surrounding area.
The 2015-16 Premier League champions made the plans public at a consultation event held yesterday afternoon.
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.
The scheme has been designed by KSS Group, the architect who also helped design the club鈥檚 拢100m training ground.
It is understood that the stand will be built behind the existing stadium and then put into position during an off-season, which was the approach Liverpool FC took a few years ago at its Anfield ground. KSS also designed the rebuilt stand there.
There are also proposals for retail space, residential and commercial space, and multi-storey car parking facilities.
In-person consultation events are being held this week ahead of the club鈥檚 3pm match against Wolves.
The will be open until 2 September.
The project follows the completion of the club鈥檚 new training ground, which was built by McLaren.
