The outstanding 25,586 all-seater MKM Stadium opened its doors on Wednesday December 18 2002, as the Tigers beat Sunderland 1-0 in a friendly to mark the occasion. The club's first competitive match at the stadium was against Hartlepool United on Boxing Day 2002, a game that Hull City won by a score of 2–0. The stadium has also been chosen to host multiple England under-21 football fixtures including UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying matches.
As well as the Tigers, the venue is home to one of Hull's rugby league teams Hull F.C. and has hosted numerous rugby league international matches and the 2020 Super League Grand Final.
Outside of sport, the MKM has also seen live music performances from the likes of Sir Elton John, Bon Jovi, The Who, Neil Diamond, Bryan Adams, R.E.M. and JLS.
