History and description

The new stadium, called MKM 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 MKM Stadium cost £44 million and was financed by the city of Hull. The stadium is owned by the city of Hull, who therefore also have operational responsibility for it. The stadium is easily expandable to a capacity of about 30,000.

Between 2002 and 2016, the stadium was called KC Stadium. However, in 2021, it was renamed MKM Stadium following a new sponsorship deal with KCOM Group.

The MKM Stadium is surrounded by green in the form of parks and sports facilities. Parks and sports facilities border residential areas, which in turn border mostly commercial areas. While one can find the odd pub near the stadium, eating and drinking options are scarce and can therefore better be done in the city centre or on your way from the city centre to the stadium, for example on Spring Bank. If you are looking to stay close to the MKM Stadium, then both the Earlsmere Guesthouse and the basic Vale Apart Hotel are some of the options. In particular, the former gets very good reviews.
