Plans have been revealed for a £60m-plus transformation of the Leicestershire County Cricket Club ground.
Management want to totally redesign the stands, create a cricket academy offering the world’s first MBA in cricket management, and potentially open up space for retirement homes, shops or healthcare providers to bring in extra income.
The 15 acre Grace Road site sits just outside the city centre and over the next three-to-five years – if funding is found – the changes could help raise capacity from the current 6,000 to 10,000 spectators.
