Kenilworth Road is a stadium in Luton, England which is home to Luton Town F.C., a professional football team in the English League One. The stadium is named for the road which runs along one end of it though its address is actually 1 Maple Road. The capacity of the stadium is 9,975 all seated though crowds of up to 30,000 were accommodated before the seating was installed, the record crowd being 30,069 in 1959 for an FA Cup game. The ground is generally disliked by both home and visiting supporters as it is very basic and has had very limited modernisation. Also, in the 1980s, Kenilworth Road sported an artificial turf, a surface which was eventually banned by the FA. The football club have been trying to obtain a new stadium for many years but most recently have been prevented by governmental red tape.
