In August 2002 the club moved into its new home, only a stone’s throw away from their old Filbert Street ground. Then called the Walkers Stadium, it was renamed the King Power Stadium in 2011, under a sponsorship deal. However, some of the home fans refer to it as ‘Filbert Way.’ The stadium is completely enclosed with all corners being filled with seating. The sides are of a good size, built in the same style and height. The Upton Steel West Stand though on one side of the pitch does contain a row of executive boxes. The team dugouts are also located at the front of this stand. Running around three sides of the stadium, just below the roof, is a transparent perspex strip, which allows more light and facilitates pitch growth. There are also two large video screens located in opposite corners of the stadium.
Like most new stadiums, the King Power Stadium is functional but lacks character. I don’t know whether I’m starting to suffer from ‘new stadium fatigue’ having visited so many in the last few years, but to me, it seemed somewhat bland looking both inside and out. Unusually the public address system is also broadcast on the speakers around the outside of the stadium. The King Power Stadium does have one redeeming feature - atmosphere. The acoustics are very good and both sets of supporters can really make some noise, making for an enjoyable visit.
With Leicester’s King Power stadium being a relatively new ground it’s of little surprise that future expansion plans were considered at the time of original planning. Now, it looks like those plans will be put into place with a further 8,000 seats due to be added to the East Stand commercial development and residential enhancements are also planned as part of the Leicester City ground upgrade. A host of new parking spaces will be created too, which will support all aspects of the revamp.
