CLUB STATEMENT:
City will further enhance the supporter experience at the LNER Stadium with a series of improvements implemented ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Matchdays will be transformed from the moment supporters arrive at the stadium – with two brand new areas created to make the most of the pre-match build up.
A new event and hospitality space will be built behind the existing Rilmac Stand. On matchdays this will create a huge covered area for supporters, with a large bar to increase service options and speed.
The first floor will provide corporate, conference and banqueting hospitality options, with the existing executive boxes replaced with new outdoor seating. This will also increase the capacity of the stadium.
The Fan Village concessions will move to the south-east corner, alongside a new interactive activity area.
There will be two large permanent big screens in the new Fan Village, as well as a big screen inside the stadium itself. The public address system is being replaced to make the most of this.
A new community space will be created alongside the club shop and ticket office in the Greenlinc Renewables Stand. This will provide a community space which will be open throughout the week as well as matchdays.
Seats in the Greenlinc Renewables Stand and the Stacey West Stand will be replaced, with changes to the safety barriers to improve access and remove obstacles to line of sight.
The new event space can hold up to 350 people and will be designed to host conferences and events – providing further options to the our partners and the entire city.
Submission of planning permission is imminent, with supporters likely to see preparatory work getting underway quickly so the works can be completed ahead of the new campaign.

Martin D Fletcher: As a Bolton fan we went to Lincoln for the first time last Saturday. Nice ground, could do with extending the main stand if anything. Beautiful city, stayed over & had a look round the Cathedral on Sunday & seen the imp… eventually! Nice people as well. All the best for the rest of the season
Stephen Curley: Outstanding! Or in standing. Blimey. People were praising our fan village thing before- this is next level stuff. Get all that revenue from thousands of customers in house.
Another superb Fans Forum last night at @LincolnCity_FC . Love the amount of detail and transparency given to those who attend. Fantastic plans for the stadium too 👏 pic.twitter.com/svgtbq3bRI
