Galpharm Stadium History

The John Smith’s Stadium in Kirklees, often known as Kirklees Stadium, was one of England’s first modern-era stadiums. It took the place of the old Leeds Road in Huddersfield.

The stadium’s construction began in 1992, and Huddersfield moved into their new home in the summer of 1994 after the completion of two new stands. In late 1994 and 1998, the stands at both ends were constructed.

The stadium was originally known as Alfred McAlpine Stadium, but after a new sponsorship contract in 2004, it was renamed Galpharm Stadium. Since the summer of 2012, the stadium has been known as The John Smith’s Stadium, thanks to a new sponsorship agreement with brewer Heineken.
