History and description<\/h3>\n

MKM Stadium, earlier also called KCOM Stadium and KC Stadium, replaced Hull\u2019s old stadium Boothferry Park. First plans for the construction of a new stadium were made in the late 1990s and building works started in 2001. The stadium officially opened on 18 December 2002 with a match between Hull City and Sunderland (1-0).<\/p>\n

Construction of the MKM Stadium cost \u00a344 million and was financed by the city of Hull, who therefore also own the stadium. The stadium is easily expandable to a capacity of about 30,000.<\/p>\n

Between 2002 and 2016 the stadium was called KC Stadium, but was renamed KCOM Stadium following a rebranding of their sponsor from KC Group to KCOM Group. In 2021, the name changed again to MKM Stadium following a new sponsorship deal.<\/p>\n
