History and description

MKM Stadium, which earlier was also known as KCOM Stadium and 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 MKM Stadium cost £44 million and was financed by the city of Hull. The stadium is easily expandable to a capacity of about 30,000.

The stadium was formerly known as KC Stadium, but was rebranded following a sponsorship deal with KCOM Group in 2021. The name was changed again to MKM Stadium in 2024, following a new sponsorship deal with MKM Partners.

How to get to the MKM Stadium

The MKM Stadium is located about a mile west of Hull city centre and main rail station. There are buses that run over Anlaby Road that take no more than 20 minutes to walk to the stadium. If arriving by car and approaching the city from the M64 motorway, follow the A63 towards the city. Exit the A63 just before the fly-over following the signs for Local Traffic/Infirmary. From there follow the signs to King's Common ground.
