Leeds have withdrawn plans to build a £25m training facility close to Elland Road in favour of increasing the stadium's capacity to 55,000. Plans had already been agreed by LCC for Leeds to increase the capacity at Elland Road from 39,000 seats to 50,000. The report said the 5,000-seat increase would require development on the Fullerton Park site next to the stadium and separate plans to build a community sports hub at Fullerton Park, the Parklife project, will now be switched to the Matthew Murray site. Facilities provided by Parklife include four 3G artificial grass pitches, a community cafe, changing facilities, a gym, NHS treatment rooms and a pharmacy. Leeds' managing director Angus Kinnear revealed initial plans to expand Elland Road in October 2019 during his speech at a civic reception as the club celebrated their centenary.
