The stadium capacity, set at 15,000 for the first sell-out home match against St Helens in 2012, was increased to 15,200 and can grow to 15,693 as the club proves it can handle the bigger crowds and get extra safety certificates. The club also announced plans to increase the stadium's capacity to around 18,000 should the need arise.
