Lincoln City stadium update: Expansion work nearly complete

Written by Andy Delaney
Last Update: October 4, 2025

It's been a fairly long road since the Lincoln City stadium update was announced, but the plans are on track.

In 2020, Lincoln City had planning permission granted to increase the capacity of the Stacey West Stand. At the time, the club had planned to increase the stand by around 1,500 seats; however, these plans were scaled back in 2022 when the club decided on a new approach to the redevelopment.

The new plans, which were approved in 2023, meant that the stand's capacity would instead rise by just 700 seats and that a new Lincoln City Foundation Skills and Education Hub would be built within the stand. The original plans for a three-tiered stand with hospitality were scrapped due to the “challenging” economic climate at the time.

Work has been ongoing since 2023, and the new stand was expected to be completed in the coming months at Sincil Bank.

Lincoln City stadium updates

Stadium infrastructure improved

Over the summer of 2025, several changes were made to the LNER Stadium. One of the biggest changes was the installation of a brand new shelter, which provides covered accommodation for disabled fans in the away end at the stadium. The club said that this demonstrates their commitment to improving the matchday experience for everyone.

Another big change was the redevelopment of the Stacey West car park, which cost the club £300k. Improvements to the car park include EV charging points, new cycle racks and green landscaping.

Stacey West stand

The latest construction updates at the stadium came in late 2023. At the time, the steel frame for the extension of the Stacey West Stand was complete and a new water supply, power supply and pitch irrigation system had all been installed.

A 70,000-litre tank has been installed at the stadium, which will fill up regularly with rainwater from the pitch and roof via the irrigation system. This water will then be used to keep the pitch fresh throughout the season, a mechanism which will save the club thousands of pounds on a water bill.

The new community skills and education hub, which will feature offices and classrooms, is currently under construction. This facility will be available for use by local community members year-round, both on matchdays and during the week. Additionally, the club is in the process of installing safe standing rails in the Stacey West Stand.
