History

File:KC Stadium.JPG

The stadium in 2007

The idea of a new stadium for Kingston upon Hull, whose professional football club Hull City had played at Boothferry Park since 1946, was first mooted in 1997. However, funds to finance such a project only became available when the city council sold a portion of its holdings in Kingston Communications.<ref name="hull_in_print"/> The council provided most of the funds, more than £42 million, with the rest stemming from government single regeneration budget grants and from the Football Stadium Improvement Fund.<ref name="hull_in_print"/>

The council appointed John Topliss to head the stadium construction project.<ref name="hull_in_print"/> He and his team partnered with consulting firm Drivers Jonas to explore preliminary issues such as stadium location, seating capacity, and facilities offered. Topliss stated that his team had "a totally blank canvas" and by working with consultants they made "a thorough assessment" of what was needed.<ref name="hull_in_print"/>

The project team considered over a dozen sites, inside and outside of the city, before settling on The Circle in West Park.<ref name="hull_in_print"/> Factors contributing to the decision include transport guidance, central government planning guidelines, existing athletic facilities, isolation from residential areas, and council ownership.<ref name="hull_in_print"/> The stadium site is located around Template:Convert from the original 'Circle' Stadium, one of Hull City's previous home grounds.

The stadium during construction

The final recommendation of Drivers Jonas included additional facilities for both indoor and outdoor sports for the people of West Hull in addition to the main stadium, planned to seat from 25,000 to 30,000 spectators.<ref name="hull_in_print"/> Professional services firm Arup Associates provided initial concept proposals for the stadium.<ref name="facts"/> The Miller Partnership, an architectural and interior design firm, adopted these proposals during the stadium's design.<ref name="facts"/> The construction work was undertaken by Birse Group.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

There were a handful of obstacles during the course of the project, including Hull City A.F.C.'s receivership in 2001, just after the granting of planning permission.<ref name="hull_in_print"/> Despite this, the stadium complex was completed on time after fourteen months of work<ref name="facts"/> and on budget, sitting at approximately £44 million.<ref name="facts"/> The stadium officially opened its doors on 18 December 2002.

That day, there were 22,467 spectators in attendance as Hull City beat Sunderland A.F.C. 1–0 in a friendly match to mark the occasion.<ref name="hfh">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Steve Melton scored the only goal of the game, consequently the first at the new stadium. Furthermore, the clubs contested for the 'Raich Carter Trophy' in honour of the late Raich Carter, who played for both of the clubs during his playing career, eventually also managing Hull between 1948 and 1951.<ref name="History Of The Tigers">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Twenty years later, almost to the day, on 17 December 2022, the clubs met again at the now MKM Stadium in the EFL Championship. Both sides agreed to recontest the Raich Carter Trophy to mark two decades at the Tigers' new stadium. The game ended 1–1 with Hull retaining the trophy, in front of a crowd of 18,120 spectators.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The stadium is an all-seater, asymmetrical bowl with an official capacity of 25,586.<ref name="mkmstadiuminfo"/> A single tier runs around the entire bowl that can seat approximately 20,000 spectators, while the West Stand has a second tier that can hold approximately 5,000 more.<ref name="facts"/> The stadium's seats are mostly black, with a band of white and amber seats around the circumference.<ref name="facts"/> White and amber seats form the word Hull in both the North Stand and the South Stand. In the East Stand, the seats form an image of a coronet,<ref name="hfh"/> a symbol of the city that also appears in the club crest for Hull F.C.<ref name="hullfchistory2"/> and in the coat of arms of the city council.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Black, white, and amber were chosen to remain neutral toward the colours of its two tenants: black and white for Hull F.C. and black and amber for Hull City.<ref name="facts"/> The blue and gold of owner Hull City Council appear in the stadium's four external columns.<ref name="facts"/> Set within Hull's West Park, it is the first stadium in England to be built in a parkland setting.<ref name="bbcfacts">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Each stand has a name for corporate sponsorship purposes.<ref name="stand_names"/> On 4 July 2011, Hull City revealed that the stadium's West Stand would be sponsored by the local Cranswick plc under a two-year agreement,<ref name="Club Announce New West Stand Sponsor">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> which was extended on 26 July 2013.<ref name="Cranswick PLC Extend Stand Sponsorship">Template:Cite news</ref> On 10 July 2013, it was announced the East Stand would be sponsored by Ideal Standard and become known as the Ideal Standard Community East Stand.<ref name="New Sponsor For East Stand">Template:Cite news</ref> Ahead of the home fixture against West Bromwich Albion on 5 March 2022, the stand was renamed the Chris Chilton Stand, in honour of Hull City's all-time record goalscorer, the late Chris Chilton.<ref name="Introducing the Chris Chilton Stand">Template:Cite news</ref>

Facilities

Hospitality

Corporate hospitality is provided by 28 executive boxes located between the two tiers of the West Stand,<ref name="facts"/> while security of the stadium is handled using 57 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that cover the stadium.<ref name="facts"/> The stadium complex also includes the 1,500 capacity Bonus Arena, a skate park, two multi-use all-weather pitches, a community learning zone complete with classrooms, a health & fitness suite, a cyber cafe, and a library.<ref name="facts"/>

Pitch

The size of the playing surface is 114 x 74 m (125 x 81 yd)<ref name="facts"/> and made of rye grass with a 3% additive of artificial grass.<ref name="bbcfacts"/> This provides ample room for a FIFA-regulation football pitch of 105 x 68 m (115 x 74 yd)<ref name="facts"/> and a standard rugby league pitch of 100 x 68 m (109 x 74 yd), plus the minimum 6 m (6.56 yd) long in-goals at each end.<ref name="facts"/> The playing surface has an automated watering system and below-surface heating.<ref name="facts"/>

Upgrades

Plans have previously been prepared for the potential extension of the stadium. A further 4,500 seats could be added to create a second tier to the East Stand, while there is also a possibility of adding extensions to both the North Stand and the South Stand of around 2,000 seats each. This would make the stadium a completed two-tier bowl with an overall capacity of approximately 34,000 seats.<ref name="facts"/><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Over the summer of 2007, SMC installed an LED<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> screen in the North Stand to replace the old electronic scoreboard.<ref name="big_screen">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The screen has an area of approximately 40 m² (430 ft.²) and displays such content as live home game feeds, match highlights, interviews, and action replays.<ref name="big_screen"/>

In 2011, Hull City owner Assem Allam announced that he wanted to buy the stadium freehold so he could develop, as he stated, "a sports park" on the site.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> After the council refused, Allam stated "I had in mind £30m to spend on the infrastructure of the club, to increase the stadium by 10,000 and to have commercial activities around the stadium – cafeterias, shops, supermarkets – to have all this to create income for the club so that in the future it can be self-financing and not relying on me."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Ahead of the 2013–14 season, goal-line technology was installed in the ground to abide with the new Premier League regulations.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In February 2023, Tan Kesler, Hull City's vice chairman, announced that the club were exploring the plans that had been made during the stadium's construction to upgrade the area surrounding the ground.<ref name="stadiumupgrades">Template:Cite news</ref> These plans included "community pitches" and "multi-dimensional sports facilities", similar to those seen at the City of Manchester Stadium in Manchester, albeit on a smaller scale. Kesler stated that the club would work closely with the local council to ensure that the Hull Fair would not be impacted by any upgrades, as it occupies an area of land that could be used for potential development.<ref name="stadiumupgrades"/> However, in September 2024, the fair's organisers deemed the early plans to upgrade the area as "unacceptable" and that they were even willing to begin a boycott in retaliation, if action was not taken to change the plans.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

On 13 April 2025, it was announced that safe standing would be introduced to the stadium, with work set to begin at the end of the 2024–25 season. Approximately 2,700 seats will be converted, with both the home and away ends affected. The upgrade will be carried out by Ferco Seating, with completion expected in time for the upcoming 2025–26 campaign.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Awards

The stadium has received several honours. It was named the chief new development in Yorkshire at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Pro-Yorkshire Awards.<ref name="awards">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It was also on the shortlist for the Prime Minister's Award for Better Public Building and received a high commendation in the British Construction Industry Awards in the Best Value category.<ref name="awards"/> In a 2005 poll that was carried out by Drivers Jonas and decided by football fans from across the country, the KC Stadium was rated highest in comfort, services and view among all grounds in the Football League and was also rated the most-improved venue.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Hull City moved into the stadium upon its opening and it soon became the backdrop for the club's rapid climb through the Football League.<ref name="History Of The Tigers"/> It first hosted the Tigers' home games during the second half of the 2002–03 season, with the first competitive match against Hartlepool United resulting in a 2–0 win for City.<ref name="first_match">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Tigers attracted an average attendance of almost 17,000 in their first full season at the then-KC Stadium, the 2003–04 season.<ref name="stats0304"/> This figure was more than three times the average attendance for Third Division sides that season, and was only matched or exceeded by clubs in the Premier League and the First Division.<ref name="political_economy">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The stadium hosted Premier League football for the first time in the 2008–09 season, with all 20,500 available season tickets selling out shortly after Hull City's play-off victory at Wembley Stadium.<ref name="season_tickets">Template:Cite news</ref>

Attendances for Hull City's league games at the stadium have averaged above 16,000 in each full season they have played there, apart from a five year period between 2017 and 2022, where a mixture of protests against Assem Allam's ownership of the club and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced crowds significantly. The club has seen an upturn in home attendances since the sale of the club to Acun Ilıcalı, with an average of 17,973 supporters attending City games during the first full-season with Ilıcalı as owner, the 2022–23 campaign.<ref name="22/23"/> The following year, the 2023–24 season, the average home attendance grew yet further to 21,980.<ref name="23/24"/>

Allocated segregation between home and away fans prevents the stadium's full-stated capacity from ever being reached. As a result, the record attendance set at the MKM Stadium is 25,030, which was recorded on 9 May 2010 for City's last match of the 2009–10 season against Liverpool, which ended 0–0.<ref name="Hull 0–0 Liverpool">Template:Cite news</ref> This marginally beat the previous record of 25,023, set just under two months earlier on 13 March 2010 in the 2–1 defeat to Arsenal.<ref name="Hull 1–2 Arsenal">Template:Cite news</ref> While playing in the Championship, the record stands at 24,605, set on 9 March 2024 when Leicester City drew 2–2 with the Tigers.<ref name="Hull City 2–2 Leicester City">Template:Cite news</ref>

Hull F.C.

Hull F.C. moved into the stadium two months after the football club did, ahead of the 2003 Super League season. On 9 February 2003, they played their first match at the then-KC Stadium, a 24–16 fourth round Challenge Cup victory over Halifax in front of 15,310 spectators.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In the Black and Whites' first four seasons after they left the Boulevard,<ref name="hullfchistory3">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> they maintained good results. In 2003, the team narrowly missed out on the play-offs, before a third-placed finish in 2004 and a fourth-placed finish in 2005.<ref name="hullfchistory3"/> However in the latter year they won the Challenge Cup, beating Leeds Rhinos 25–24 in a thrilling final.<ref name="hullfchistory3"/> They came agonisingly close to victory again the following season, reaching the Super League Grand Final but ultimately losing 26–4 to St Helens.<ref name="hullfchistory3"/><ref name="hullfcgf">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Aside from back-to-back Challenge Cup wins in 2016<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and 2017,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> more recent years have been much less successful for the Black and Whites, only managing to reach the league play-offs three times since 2014, winning on none of those occasions.

The average attendance of rugby league games at the MKM Stadium are often significantly lower than the football games played there. This is largely explained by the fact that Kingston upon Hull as a city is home to two separate professional rugby league sides, the other being Hull Kingston Rovers. Therefore, half of the city's rugby league fanbase does not follow the Black and Whites, unlike in the football where there is only one professional side. However, the stadium does in turn see a rise in attendance when the Hull derby is contested. It is therefore unsurprising that the highest attendance for a Hull F.C. game at the MKM Stadium was on 2 September 2007, when Hull K.R. thrashed the home side 42–6 in front of 23,004 spectators.<ref name="RL 2007">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In April 2024, Hull F.C. chairman Adam Pearson discussed the possibility of the club leaving the MKM Stadium, as attendances for the Black and Whites' games have generally averaged far below full capacity since arriving.<ref name="Pearson">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Pearson admitted that although he would be happy to explore the proposed idea of having a smaller stadium that was owned by the club, it was simply a "pipe dream" and not a currently viable option.<ref name="Pearson"/> He noted that if it were to happen, the new ground could be built similarly to both the Halliwell Jones Stadium and the York Community Stadium, at a suitable site in Hull like the Costello Stadium.<ref name="Pearson"/>
