Overview

Carrow Road is our home. History, heritage and tradition – and in order to ensure our stadium is best prepared for the long term future, we’ve confirmed details of a phased plan of development.

The development works are set to benefit our supporters attending games at Carrow Road, ensuring a better all-round matchday experience, both inside the stadium and on the wider Carrow Road footprint.

Once complete, these works will have some immediate benefits to supporters, as well as the future generations of supporters who will attend games at Carrow Road.

The development phases were announced on Friday, October 3. Click here to read the press release in full.

Development phases

Phase 1: Fan zone

Development of a new external fan zone, located on land behind the Barclay Stand. This fan zone will be open both pre and post-match, and be available for home fans situated in all areas of the stadium. The club is currently working alongside both the City and County councils to ensure this project can get up and running as quickly as possible.

Given the wider impact such development will have on the local area, the club anticipates this application will require consultation with local stakeholders prior to consent being granted.

The club hopes to be in a position to submit a planning application in the coming months.

Phase 2: Stadium mapping

To create a bespoke matchday experience for all, a new stadium seating map will be created. Dedicated sections will feature tailored entertainment, food offerings and experiences for supporters in different areas of the stadium. Our designated family areas will feature food offerings for children, concourse activities and visits from Captain Canary.

As part of this process, we will need some season ticket holders to relocate their seat to another area of the stadium. This will include those season ticket holders located in the lower tier of the Regency Security Stand, and a section of season ticket holders in the South Stand.

Phase 3: Enhance and maximise supporter experience

There will be further development of the premium offerings in the Regency Security, Barclay and South Stand areas. These areas will be refreshed and updated in order to create an improved matchday offering for those supporters wishing to upgrade their matchday experience.

This will also ensure the stadium is fully prepared for the long-term future, both on a matchday and non-matchday.

Phase 4: Preparation for City Stand redevelopment

The club continues to explore plans to redevelop the City Stand, and the successful implementation of phases 1, 2 and 3 will ensure the club is in the best possible position to progress plans in the future.
