Elland Road planning application
The plans would see the capacity increase to about 53,000.
Leeds United have submitted a formal planning application to expand the club's Elland Road Stadium.
Proposals to modernise the ground and increase its capacity from 37,645 to about 53,000 have already been backed in principle by Leeds City Council.
The club has now put forward its final plans following a public consultation.
Chief business officer Morrie Eisenberg said: “As a club, we believe this development will provide great economic benefits to the local community and will be a catalyst for a regeneration of the area.”

The plans would see the West and North Stands updated, along with changes to the South Stand and improvements to the general admission and hospitality facilities.
United said it would help the club meet demand for tickets, with 26,000 supporters currently on the waiting list for a season ticket.
Bosses said the results from the consultation questionnaire showed 98% of respondents supported the club’s proposals.
A decision is expected within 13 weeks.
