The Kingston Communications Stadium, often shortened to KC Stadium or just the KC, is a multi-purpose facility in the city of Kingston upon Hull (Hull), England. Conceived as early as the late 1990s,[2] it was completed in 2002 at a cost of approximately GB£44 million. It is named after the stadium's sponsors, telecommunications provider Kingston Communications. The stadium is owned by Hull City Council and operated by the Stadium Management Company (SMC).[1]

The bowl-shaped stadium contains a continuous single tier of seats with a second tier on the west side.[1] Its current capacity is 25,404.[1] The stadium accommodates fans of its two tenants, association football club Hull City A.F.C., which moved there from Boothferry Park,[3] and rugby league football club Hull FC, relocated from the Boulevard.[4] The ground also hosts international association football and rugby league football competitions[5][6][7] and acts as a venue for concerts by musical artists, such as Elton John[8] and The Who.[9]
