LEEDS has given an update on their ambitious £150million stadium redevelopment project.
This summer, the Yorkshire club commenced improvements to their iconic venue, aiming to boost its capacity to 53,000 by 2030.
Daniel Farke’s team, which received planning approval for this extensive project in January, is committed to keeping fans informed with regular updates on progress.
The redevelopment began with the dismantling of the West Stand Banqueting Suite.
Fans who used the hospitality area will now be accommodated in a new facility built behind Elland Road’s North Stand during the renovation process.
The old structure that housed the club’s in-house TV station and ticket office has also been taken down.

Leeds intends to construct the new West Stand directly above the current structure, ensuring their home ground will maintain a capacity of 37,645 for the upcoming season.
A new access corridor has been established to guarantee fans can safely enter the stadium during the renovation period.
The club’s website remarks: “This new corridor will provide safe access for supporters to their seats in the West Stand on matchdays and will be divided into three sections – one for hospitality guests, one for general admission home fans, and one for away supporters.”
This redevelopment will raise Elland Road to the seventh largest stadium in the Premier League.

Manchester United’s Old Trafford remains the largest stadium with a capacity of 75,653, as the Red Devils work towards developing a new 100,000-seat arena.
Next in size is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 62,850, followed by London Stadium (62,500), Anfield (61,276), the Emirates (60,704), and the Etihad (55,097).
Leeds currently has over 32,000 supporters on their season ticket waiting list.
Alongside increasing the stadium’s capacity, the redevelopment aims to achieve UEFA Category 4 status for Elland Road, allowing it to host major international tournaments.
