Blackpool FC Home Stadium
Blackpool have played their home games at Bloomfield Road since 1901. The current capacity of the stadium is 17,338, all seated.
In the summer of 2010, work was carried out on the stadium to prepare for the club’s debut season in the Premier League. A new temporary East Stand with a capacity of 5,120 was built, along with improvements to lighting, medical and media facilities and shelters. Paint work was also carried out on the Stanley Matthews Stand (West) and the Mortensen Kop (North Stand).
A new video screen was also installed. A new South Stand named after Jimmy Armfield opened in 2010 with 3,600 seats. Since the first Premier League home game, against Fulham on 28 August 2010, the capacity has been 16,220, the highest at Bloomfield Road in 30 years.
In the 2011-12 season, the south-east corner between the Armfield Stand and the temporary East Stand was filled with an additional 500 seats, and the area also incorporated the BFC Hotel, which welcomed its first guests in late June 2012. It was officially opened on July 26, 2012, the 125th anniversary of the club.
The hotel has a four-star rating, though the source of the accreditation is not specified on its website. It also houses a conference center. From the 2015–16 season until Blackpool’s homecoming game against Southend United, the East Stand had been closed to fans.
In the latter part of the 2018–19 EFL League One season, away fans moved to the North East Stand. As of the 2019-20 season, away fans are now housed in the East Stand.
