Huddersfield Town’s stadium has evolved from their historic former home, Leeds Road, to the state-of-the-art multi-use complex now known as the Accu Stadium (formerly the Kirklees Stadium or John Smith’s Stadium).

The club moved to their current ground in 1994, which pioneered modern sports architecture with its iconic roof trusses.

Leeds Road (1908–1994)

• The Era: Huddersfield Town played 86 years at Leeds Road, an iconic venue that witnessed the club win three consecutive top-flight First Division titles in the 1920s.
• Transition: Following the Taylor Report, the club realised a new ground was needed. In 1994, the historic venue was closed and later demolished to make way for a retail park.

The Kirklees / John Smith’s / Accu Stadium (1994–Present)

• Opening: The consortium-funded stadium opened in August 1994 for the 1994–95 season with an initial two-stand design. The total construction cost was approximately £40 million.
• Stand Expansions: The South Stand was added in late 1994, followed by the North Stand in 1998.
• Design Milestones: Designed by Populous, its revolutionary “banana truss” roof became a landmark design in English sports architecture, later inspiring the new Wembley Stadium.
• Ownership and Naming Rights: Originally known as the Alfred McAlpine Stadium. After a succession of sponsorships (Galpharm, John Smith’s), it became the Accu Stadium. As of late 2025, the stadium is solely owned by Huddersfield Town Football Club.
• Current Capacity: The all-seater stadium currently holds approximately 24,121 spectators.
