KCOM Stadium

The KCOM Stadium (also known as the Hull City Stadium due to UEFA sponsorship regulations) is a multi-purpose facility in the city of Kingston upon Hull, England. The stadium was previously called the KC Stadium, but was renamed as part of a major rebrand by the stadium's sponsors, telecommunications provider KCOM, on 4 April 2016.[2] Conceived in the late 1990s,[3] it was completed in 2002 at a cost of approximately £44 million. The stadium is owned by Hull City Council and operated by the Stadium Management Company (SMC),[4] who are looking to expand the stadium up to 32,000. The bowl-shaped stadium contains a continuous single tier of seats with a second tier on the west side.[4] Its current capacity is 25,400.[1] The stadium hosts two tenants, association football club Hull City A.F.C., which moved there from Boothferry Park,[5] and rugby league football club Hull FC, relocated from the Boulevard.[6] It is also the largest rugby league stadium in England. The ground also hosts international association football and rugby league football competitions and acts as a venue for concerts by musical artists,[7][8][9] such as Elton John and The Who
