Image caption,But the Hatters have played at their current site since 1905 and, speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Sweet said it "hasn't changed an awful lot over that time"."We've got about £8m, maybe £10m of improvements to do which is pretty much rebuilding one stand in less than three months, which is some task.
"It's just really to comply with Premier League's broadcasting requirements and some facility requirements that are needed."Gary Sweet said the club "hoped to be putting a spade in the ground" to build the 23,000-seater stadium "at the end of this year or early next"in the town centre since 2019. Mr Sweet said the club "hoped to be putting a spade in the ground" to build the 23,000-seater stadium "at the end of this year or early next"."It's quite a heavy investment for football at that level for us and will firmly put us into the Premier League bracket," he said.
"But just to be able to get Kenilworth Road ready now, just for maybe two or three years, is maybe more of a gargantuan task than building a new stadium."Luton Town has planning permission for a 23,000-seater stadium on the site of a former power station in the town centre Having missed out on promotion last season after a 2-1 semi-final defeat to Huddersfield, Mr Sweet said that while the club was "really good at keeping our feet planted to the ground" it was "feeling very excited".Find BBC News: East of England on
