Leicester City have unveiled plans to expand the King Power Stadium to a capacity of 40,000. "While this vision is in its early stages, I know the prospect of additional capacity for more Leicester City supporters in King Power Stadium, has long been anticipated by us all, particularly after seven near sold-out Premier League seasons." There are also proposals for a new Leicester City retail space, residential and commercial space, and multi-storey car parking facilities. Sir Peter Soulsby, Mayor of Leicester, said: "These are ambitious plans that reflect the club's ongoing commitment to the city and constant desire to build on its incredible achievements." In December, Leicester moved into a new £100m training complex that houses the men's first team and academy.
