New academy and community facilities part of Barnet FC’s stadium expansion plan
BY Matthew Campelli
AndArchitects, the studio behind Luton Town FC’s ambitious new stadium plan, has developed a proposal to revamp the home ground of Barnet FC.
As part of the plan, capacity at The Hive would increase to 8,000 – up from just 5,000 – with the current South terrace converted into a modern all-seater stand.
The stadium’s East stand will also be improved if Harrow Council greenlights planning permission.
A new academy centre with indoor pitches, a multi-purpose indoor sports hall – with facilities for basketball, netball and badminton – and an 11-a-side astroturf pitch will be built around ground.
Subject to planning approval, work will start at the beginning of the 2017/18 season.
League Two Barnet FC moved into the Harrow-based The Hive in 2013 after plans to build a new stadium in its local area failed to materialise.
