Club: Luton Town FC | Capacity: 17,500 seats | Scheduled opening: 2024 | Status: proposed<\/p>\n

Description<\/h3>\n

For\u00a0the last two decades, Luton Town has sought to build a new stadium to replace their current ground, Kenilworth Road<\/a>, that\u00a0lacks the facilities of modern-day stadiums, however plans long failed to move forward due to a lack of funding.<\/p>\n

Plans became however more concrete in 2015 when the club identified the Power Court site in Luton’s town centre along the railway tracks as their preferred site and started a public consultation process. The club started a formal application process in the summer of 2016, and purchased the land later in the year, however progress has since slowed down while seeking planning permission.<\/p>\n

The club had initially hoped to move into the stadium by 2020, but this has now been pushed back to 2024 at the earliest. If this date is to be made, construction works would have to begin in early 2022 the latest.<\/p>\n

The planned new Luton Town stadium is set to have a capacity of 17,500 seats, roughly 7,500 more than Kenilworth Road stadium, which could be changed to 23,000 along the way if circumstances (e.g. promotion to the Premier League) changed.<\/p>\n
