Walkers Stadium
The Walkers Stadium is the home of Leicester City FC. The all-seater stadium, inaugurated in July 2002, holds 32 000. Leicester City FC's previous stadium was at nearby Filbert Street. As a result of the success of the club during the late 1990s and the increasing popularity of football, the club outgrew the stadium to the extent that nearly every home game was a 21 000 sell-out. Some parts of the ground were also somewhat outdated, which led the manager, Martin O'Neill to joke that when he showed Filbert Street to new signings he led them backwards out of the players tunnel to prevent them from seeing the East Stand.
