Hull City - Sunderland

The KCOM Stadium, initially called KC Stadium, replaced Hull’s 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).

Construction of the KCOM Stadium cost £44 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.

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.

How to get to the KCOM Stadium

The KCOM Stadium is located about a mile west of Hull’s city centre and main rail station. The walk to the stadium should take no more than 20 minutes. Alternatively, there are buses that run over Anlaby Road.

Capacity: 25,586 seats
