| Ground Info |  Elland Road is a football stadium in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which has been the home of Leeds United since the club's formation in 1919. The stadium is the 14th largest football stadium in England. The ground has hosted FA Cup semi-final matches as a neutral venue, and England international fixtures, and was selected as one of eight Euro 96 venues. Elland Road was used by rugby league club Hunslet in the mid-1980s[and hosted two matches of the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Elland Road has four stands – the Don Revie (North) Stand, the East Stand (which is due to be named for Jack Charlton), the Norman Hunter South Stand and the John Charles (West) Stand – and an all-seated capacity of 37,792 The record attendance of 57,892 was set on 15 March 1967 in an FA Cup 5th round replay against Sunderland. This was before the stadium became an all-seater venue as stipulated by the Taylor Report and the modern record is 40,287 for a Premiership match against Newcastle United on 22 December 2001. Plans are currently afoot to increase the capacity of Elland Road to 50,000, achieved by demolishing the West Stand and rebuilding the area. The stadium has hosted concerts, including performances by bands such as Queen, U2, Happy Mondays and the Kaiser Chiefs. |
