Lincoln City have released images and shared their detailed plans for huge ground developments at the LNER Stadium for supporters ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Titled Imps Territory, the club state that the planned improvements will be put in place to enhance the fan experience at City.
A new event and hospitality space will be built behind the existing Rilmac Stand, providing a covered area for supporters on match days. The space will feature a large bar to increase service options and speed, and will hold up to 350 people for conferences and events.
The first floor of the stadium will provide corporate, conference and banqueting hospitality options, with the existing executive boxes to be replaced with new outdoor seating. This will also increase the stadium’s capacity, which currently stands at 10,669.
The stadium’s Fan Village concessions will also move to the southeast corner, alongside a new interactive activity area. The new Fan Village will feature two large permanent screens, while a new screen will be fitted inside the stadium itself and the public address system will be replaced.

Seats in the Greenlinc Renewables Stand and the Stacey West Stand will also be replaced, with changes to be made to the safety barriers to improve access and remove obstacles to line of sight.
Lincoln will submit planning permission for the upgrades imminently, with preparatory work likely to begin quickly so the improvements are completed ahead of the new season.
Lincoln is contending for promotion to the Championship this season, with the club currently second in League One, one point behind Cardiff City and 10 ahead of third-place Bolton Wanderers.
