King Power Stadium

Welcome to the Kink Powder Stadium. If you’re into putting baby powder, chili powder, talcum powder, you name it… all over you and your partner before you do the wild thing… then you have a Powder Kink, and therefore the Kink Powder Stadium is right up your proverbial back alley.
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — I played a concert in Leicester in 2011 and visited this new stadium for the first time. Absolutely fantastic facility! Five stars all the way! Crowd was loud and intense and the team really responded to them. Brilliant facilities, very friendly people on the turnstiles, concessions weren’t as awfully priced as some of the other stadiums. Brand new, shiny, one of my faves in the UK.
I went here again in 2014 when I was stuck in the UK, after getting Pork Pies in nearby Melton Mowbray. It remains a very impressive stadium and one of the best I have visited. And it means a lot to all my friends who are fans of the Foxes. Plus who doesn’t love a team named after themselves, right? Phenomenal venue for soccer.
I’ve been to every significant stadium in UK & US, due to a lifelong obsession with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later followed Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are based on first-​hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, visiting hundreds of stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in the UK I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space!

It’s a gorgeous new stadium with a rabid crowd that replaced thew old Filbert Street stadium. It can hold almost 33k people and often does for these amazing Premier League games as the club tries to pull off the miracle and escape from relegation. It’s England’s 19^th largest stadium.
It opened in 2002, and of course Leicester City play here. It was previously known as the Walkers Stadium but they sold the naming rights because they could no longer afford Gary Lineker to be in their ads.
England played a friendly here in 2003. It’s right on the banks of the river. It’s a stunning new stadium with an intense atmosphere and could only score a 5.
