Exciting plans for the redevelopment of Headingley Stadium complex are set to be revealed at a series of public exhibition to be held in February.
The success of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, Leeds Rhinos and Yorkshire Carnegie makes Headingley Stadium one of the biggest visitor attractions in Leeds and important to the economy of the city. The plans are aimed to retain the stadium’s position internationally in readiness for the economic and social benefits that hosting the 2019 Cricket World Cup and future test match cricket will bring to Leeds and Yorkshire.
The proposals will create an increased capacity Cricket Stadium that will offer the highest standards of playing, practice and training facilities, good quality seating and corporate facilities, state of the art technology and media facilities and attractive spaces around the stadium to improve integration with the surrounding Headingley neighbourhood.

who is going to actually pay for this? I thought the counties were all basically bust, with the exception of Middlesex and Surrey?

To facilitate the stadium improvement plans, funding will be provided from a combination of public and private funding including Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Leeds Rhinos. Leeds Rhinos will provide the majority of the remaining investment through the proposed sale of two sites for housing development located off Weetwood Avenue, Weetwood and off Old Thorpe Lane, Bradford Road, Tingley. The net receipts from the sale of these sites will be 100 percent invested into the improvements at Headingley.

I think the mighty Warwickshire managed ok this year with a £2.3m profit last year!

I think Yorkshire are financially solvent again following the deal with Leeds Council on there debts.
I imagine capacity restrictions might be an issue but the western terrace could do with a second tier for big games.

We're doing ok (Warwickshire)

They might not have a choice if they want to keep capacity up after this > http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/feb/20/yorkshire-headingley-stand-closure-cricket (http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/feb/20/yorkshire-headingley-stand-closure-cricket)
