KC Stadium

Kansas City? I wish. Hull is not quite KC, it doesn’t really have the same standard of BBQ food, but that’s okay. I hope they KC (Kill Chelsea) every time they play them. Is that better?
This review is for the stadium… Hull City FC has a separate listing.
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — before my 2011 concert in Hull I came to check out this shiny amazing new facility. I thought it was absolutely stunning. At twilight, with the sun going down, it was so majestic and new and impressive. It totally dominates the skyline in this part of the city.
I didn’t get to actually watch a game here until 2014 but it was worth the wait. The crowd are electric, the facilities are first-​rate, and you won’t find many better stadiums in the world.
I’ve been to every significant stadium in UK & US, due to a lifelong obsession with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later followed Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are based on first-​hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, visiting hundreds of stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in the UK I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space!

It’s an amazing stadium. It opened in 2004 and holds 25k people and is easily one of the best stadiums in both football and rugby in the UK. The roof holds all the atmosphere in from the bowl, and the noise level is intense and deafening. It’s beautiful inside and out and is a masterpiece of the Premier League.
If you give it less than 5 you don’t know what the Hull you’re talking about.

Nice stadium, bigger than I imagined. Went by coach and we managaed to park easily. Wasn’t long to get to either. Only down side is should you go for a rugby league match there can be some but only small crowd trouble.

Recently I got a free pint and £6.60 from a West Stand upper concourse shop. I ordered a pint and paid £20 and was given £26.60 change and my drink. Will definitely go back again.

A very good modern stadium. Wasted in the Championship.
The best feature is the Park and Ride facility.
No more queuing for hours to get out of grounds. The buses are waiting for you on the main road after the game. 10 minute journey and you are in your car. 15 minutes and your back on the A road.
A nice touch
Outside the ground is a big park where you can relax before going into the ground.
Like most football stadiums, around the ground is full of pubs, but the 1 thing I didn’t like is that there are no decent places to go for a pint.
Everywhere was rund down or full of scum bags looking angrily into their pint.
The stadium was class. Loads of leg room. great views. and the Fan banter was what you expect.
The standard chants.
If your an away fan, get to the park and ride. 100%. otherwise you will be stuck!

A very good, modern stadium and fairly easy to get too. Used by the football and rugby teams.

After all these years, the women’s toilets still do not have mirrors or hot water! Add that to the fact that the queues at half time are massive and most of the staff can’t understand you, I am really let down by the company that takes care of the stadium.
BUT my beloved Hull City play here, so it’s not all bad!

Great stadium, great facilities. I take my disabled dad in wheelchair with no access problems. Only downside is getting away at the end as traffic management is non-​existant.
Food and drink a bit pricey but that’s life I guess.
Waiting to see what the football will be like under Iain Dowie!!!

Great stadium and facilities, very family orientated, with plenty to do before the game if you have kids. Shame it’s not a tad bigger in terms of capacity, as it’s difficult to get tickets for the football team’s matches. What’s really special, is the dedicated walkway from town to the stadium, although dozens of buses are available outside after the final whistle. A great venue for a great team.

An ‘ok’ stadium, but when considering that it is shared by rugby clubs as well as outside events, i was surprised at how well maintained it wasespecially the pitch having seen the mess eugby matches makes of football pitches usually.
We drove past this stadium once before we realised that yes, this was the ‘famous’ home of Hull, a little overwhelming really as it does look like a bit of a cardboard box stadium but decent enough.
There are pubs nearby for a pre and post match drink, but for me the best thing was getting away from the carpark quickly so we could head home!

Despite its name, this is a fantastic stadium. Despite been a little smaller than a standard Premiership stadium, it is still roomy, with an excellent sound system and visuals, which help emphasise the match excitement. The facilities are clean and plenty of opportunities for refreshments.
Main criticism is the lack of security when things start to get a bit rough.

went to see the who there, absolutley fantastic seen a couple of matches too city didn’t win back then but never mind, good concert venue by all accounts but trying to get tickets for games now is increasingly difficult.

Home of Hull FC rugby and Hull City football clubs. This stadium also hosts pop concerts in the summer and being built only recently has excellent in ground facilities. The only downside is the poor access meaning that if you park at the ground you may find it slow to get out after events. Worth visiting though.
