Location and Features of the Boothen Quarter
A Key Component of Stoke City’s Development Plan
The £1.5 million Boothen Quarter project is a significant component of a broader £30 million, five-year development program at the bet365 Stadium and Clayton Wood training ground, which was announced in 2022. The fan zone aims to enhance the matchday experience by offering fans a unique venue where they can gather before and after games to enjoy entertainment, food, and beverages in a lively and engaging environment.
Architectural Design and Conceptualization by AFL
AFL Architects provided the design and concept for the Boothen Quarter, focusing on creating a versatile space that serves both matchday and non-matchday purposes. The design reflects a balance between functionality and fan experience, aligning with the club’s long-term development goals at the bet365 Stadium.
