In pictures: New construction images as expansion of Elland Road stadium gathers pace

The stadium’s capacity will increase by over 15,000

Construction at Elland Road continues to gather pace ahead of the new season.

Work, which is taking place by the West and North Stands of Elland Road, include the removal of the Banqueting Suite, demolition of the ticket office and the removal of floodlights.

The major redevelopment will see the stadium’s capacity increase by over 15,000, from 37,645 to 53,000.

Leeds United are next expected to play at Elland Road in a pre-season friendly against RB Leipzig on August 8.
