Work is now firmly underway to revolutionise Leeds United’s famous home stadium.
Now that the 2025/26 season is completed and the summer break is here, the building works have firmly got underway at Elland Road to increase the stadium’s capacity from 37,645 to a huge 53,000.
Pictures and reports from the ground show that various is underway by West and North Stands, including the demolition of the ticket office and the removal of floodlights.
A temporary structure behind the North Stand, which is expected to host corporate facilities during the works, was already going up before the end of the season.
