At that point, the ground was considered small compared to those of their contemporary First and Second Division clubs, and its location along a main road and train line made significant redevelopment difficult.

[12][13] The club did not rule out redeveloping Kenilworth Road and, in October 2012, entered talks to buy the stadium back from Luton Borough Council.

"[15] In April 2016, the club announced its intention to build and move into a 17,500-capacity stadium on the Power Court site in central Luton.

[17] In March 2021, the club announced that it intended to make a number of changes to the initial scheme to reflect changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but that the capacity of the new stadium was still to be 23,000 and had a target opening date of 2024.

[23] A distinctive feature of the new stadium is the 'halo' floodlighting system which will be suspended above the pitch and is inspired by a straw boater hat similar to those manufactured in Luton.
