City’s Vice Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha revealed the Club’s intentions in his regular column in Saturday’s edition of CITY Matchday Magazine. The club will evaluate the opinions of the fans.
The Club not only hopes to increase the stadium’s capacity beyond its existing 32.243 seats, Srivaddhanaprabha says the development could include improvements to the wider stadium site, offering better access and facilities for supporters and the surrounding community. „We are now in a position to begin a more thorough consultation on the development of King Power Stadium,” Srivaddhanaprabha writes.
„The plan is to increase capacity and upgrade facilities for the stadium itself, and invest in the surrounding site to create an exciting events destination for the city of Leicester. We are only in the very early stages, but it is exciting news I wanted to share with our supporters, in honour of my father’s birthday.”
„The magical, formidable King Power Stadium atmosphere has been a powerful feature of the Club’s success in recent times,” he continues. „We must ensure that any future proposals serve to enhance that experience, not dilute it. It will be a major priority in our planning.”
Stakeholder engagement on the King Power Stadium development will commence shortly, with further details to be revealed in due course. (Stadiaworld, 09.04.2018)
