Kenilworth Road Stadium History

Kenilworth Road (The Kenny) has been home to Luton Town FC since 1905 and it has enjoyed many alterations and renovations in it’s time. It is now facing possibly the most significant updates as the ground is brought up to Premier League standards.

The original main stand burnt down in 1921 and was replaced by the current stand that is there today. This new stand contained a seated upper tier and a lower standing tier.

In 1936 a record attendance was set against Coventry City and the stadium, already showing it’s age, was set to be renovated. The Kenilworth End was extended, Oak Road End had a roof added whilst the Main Stand received various upgrades.

Floodlights were installed in 1953 and used for the first time in a game against Fenerbahçe on 7th October 1953. Shortly afterwards the Oak Road terrace was extended further in 1955 and Luton Town were promoted to the First Division and attendances were regularly around 21,000.

Over the next 20 years various other sites were flirted with as potential locations for a new stadium however a string of rejections meant attention needed to be turned back to Kenilworth Road which had now not seen any meaningful improvements for almost 20 years.

In 1973 seats were added for the first time since 1922.

1985 saw the commencement of a £1m refurbishment that included an artificial playing surface as well as making the ground an all seater. The Bobbers Stand, as it was then known, had all it’s seats completely removed and was filled with Executive Boxes. Lastly a roof was added to the Kenilworth Road Stand.

The David Preece Stand was erected in 1991 with the final conversions completed in 2005 which brought the stadium to a capacity of 10,356.

As of May 2023, the club confirmed that ‘very good progress’ was being made on a new stadium at Power Court, complete with mock ups of a potential stadium. The stadium would be at the centre of a regeneration project of a 20 acre site close to the Town’s railway station and preparation works are underway.
