Project
With Hull City playing Championship football at the MKM as well as Hull FC competing in rugby league's BetFred Super League, a solution needed to be found to give both teams a high-quality playing surface.
Following an independent assessment of the MKM Stadium pitch following sequential difficult winter seasons, an agreement was made to fully reconstruct the surface at the end of the 2023/24 season.
OBI were appointed to provide design and oversight services for what will be one of the quickest full stadium reconstructions ever using a long-term lay and play hybrid carpet system.
