Premier League-bound club set to lodge proposals for 23,500-capacity stadium by August

Luton Town FC has pledged to lodge detailed plans for its new 23,500-capacity stadium before its first game in the Premier League.

The Championship club, which secured promotion to the top flight of English football by defeating Coventry City on penalties in Saturday’s playoff final, is working with AndArchitects on a new town-centre home to replace its 10,356-seat Kenilworth Road ground.
