Hull Kingston Rovers moved to the new ground in 1989 from the Old Craven Park which was sited on Holderness Road.[4] The new stadium was the first in Rugby League to offer hospitality boxes. The stadium was also the home to the Hull Vikingsspeedway team from 1995 to 2005, but they left when the ground was refurbished for Hull Kingston Rovers to use in the Super League. The first match was played against Trafford Borough with a full capacity 8,500 crowd to watch.[5] The club convincingly started the new era, and in that season were crowned Division Two champions.[6]
In 2006 the ground and pitch were substantially improved as the club sought a return to the top flight of English rugby league. Plans for Hull Kingston Rovers to move from Craven Park to a new purpose-built rugby league stadium to be constructed at a new, unconfirmed site were suggested in 2007, but shortly after this, Hull City Council, in partnership with Kingston Community Developments Limited and Hull Kingston Rovers, announced that terms for lease agreements had been reached to support the long-term future of Craven Park.[citation needed] These terms enabled investment and development of the stadium to move forward.
The initial phase of redeveloping Craven Park was the lease purchase of a temporary seated north stand from Wentworth Golf Club, replacing the use of the inadequate south terrace for visiting away fans.[7] Hull Kingston Rovers' second season in the Super League in 2008 coincided with work beginning on the extension of the standing terraced East Stand. This extension increased the capacity of the stand by 1,120 bringing its overall capacity to 4,750.[8] A similar extension to the opposite end of the stand, which would have increased the capacity again by 1,200, was planned in 2009, but this expansion was placed on hold in 2011 as construction of a new North Stand took priority.[9][10]
Construction work on the new £8.2 million mixed facilities North Stand began in 2012 following the removal of the temporary Wentworth Golf Club stand. The new stand was initially projected to be completed halfway through the 2013 season with the opening match set to be a Hull FC derby,[11] however disputes between the club, Hull City Council and construction managers NPS saw the opening delayed to 2014. The disputes saw the North Stand cladded in sky blue rather than red as originally planned and club director Neil Hudgell fearing the stand would become a "glorified office block".[12] Following its opening, the new North Stand was named the 'Colin Hutton North Stand' as a tribute to the former Hull KR coach and the Great Britain national rugby league team coach.[13]
A new attendance record was set at Craven Park in 2018, beating the previous record of 11,181 in the season opener against the Leeds Rhinos in 2015. 12,090 spectators attended the stadium to watch cross city rivals Hull FC defeat Hull Kingston Rovers in a Good Friday derby.[14][15]
A floodlight collapse in November 2018 saw Hull Kingston Rovers declare a 'major incident' and relocate players and staff to the University of Hull for off-season training. One pre-season match in 2019 was relocated and the club returned to Craven Park in late January using a temporary floodlight.[16]
The temporary seated South Stand in use in May 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic saw all Super League teams play behind closed doors at two neutral venues for a majority of the 2020 season and two rounds of the 2021 season, with only a handful of matches being played with no fans at Craven Park in 2021.[17] When crowds returned to season ticket holders only in May 2021, initial restrictions on crowd capacity saw the club erect a temporary seated stand over the disused South Stand, allowing a socially-distanced capacity of 6,000.[18] The temporary stand was removed following the lifting of social distancing restrictions and replaced with a food and entertainment area on the site named 'Craven Streat';[19] another 1,000-seat temporary stand was erected in September 2024 due to very high ticket demand ahead of Hull KR's last regular match of the 2024 Super League season.[20]
Ownership
Craven Park and adjacent land surrounding the stadium had previously been owned and operated by both Hull City Council and Kingston Community Developments Ltd, who had held a 250-year lease of the stadium, since Hull Kingston Rovers was rescued from administration in 2000.[21] Following a period of negotiations between the club and Hull City Council, Hull Kingston Rovers purchased full ownership of the stadium in March 2022, with the option to purchase 15 acres of surrounding land also included in the deal.[22]
With Craven Park under the ownership of Hull Kingston Rovers, the club has begun redeveloping or improving parts of the ground. The Roger Millward West Stand is planned to be demolished and replaced with a new structure capable of hosting corporate facilities,[23][24][25] while the club has also proposed to Hull City Council to rename Poorhouse Lane, the single access road for Craven Park, to Phil Lowe Way.[26]

The North Stand was originally a temporary stand from Wentworth Golf Club that was erected after the ground ceased being used as a speedway and greyhound racing venue.[7] In 2013, the new £8 million Colin Hutton North Stand opened for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup game between Papua New Guinea and France. The North Stand also houses the Enterprise Business Centre and Training Centre. There are 42 fully furnished offices which make up the Enterprise Units, all of which are located on different floors within the North Stand.

The West Stand, also named after the club's greatest player Roger Millward, includes the main seated stand a small terraced area, 'The Colin McNicol Well', below executive boxes, which holds around 500 fans and is also home to a large mural, painted in 2018, that celebrates Hull's maritime heritage.[27] The stand houses the stadium's main changing rooms that were redeveloped before the 2014 season to improve the size and facilities of the changing room.[28] Inside the stand there is The Robins Nest, Flanagan's Bar, named after former player Peter Flanagan and The Harry Poole Bar for home and away fans. This is a restaurant with pitch side views and exclusive player and coach interviews after a match. The stand also houses the TV gantry.

The East Stand is a covered terrace that runs almost the full length of the pitch. The north side of the stand was extended in 2008,[8] and the south side is due to be extended by January 2025; an extension of the terraces was initially placed on hold in 2011 due to the development of the North Stand,[9][10] however the club announced in September 2024 that as a result of high demand for tickets pushing Craven Park towards full capacity, a temporary new seating area, featuring improved wheelchair facilities and a capacity of up to 1,000 fans, is to be built on the south side of the stand.[29] This stand will be used for the duration of the 2025 Super League season, after which a £1.5 million permanent extension to the East Stand will be carried out during 2026.[30]
'Craven Streat'
'Craven Streat', sited on the South Terrace
Previously a small bank of terracing at the south end of the ground. 'Craven Streat', established in 2021, offers live stage entertainment, a marquee with bars, street food and a big screen, inspired by the fan park of Canadian Super League expansion team Toronto Wolfpack's Lamport Stadium and American footballtailgate parties. The name references the Craven Street Football Ground, the site of Hull Kingston Rovers' first rugby league matches.[19]
Following the completion of the North Stand and Enterprise Centre, the club initially proposed in 2015 to build a new South Stand with an adjoining a hotel to replace the disused terracing.[31] In August 2024, work began on the construction of a 3G pitch on the site of the South Terrace and adjoining parking area, part of a new sports campus set to include new team training facilities, a gym and a lecture hall.[32] Expansions for 'Craven Streat' were later announced a month later due to extension work on the East Stand taking up some of the fan park's footprint.[29]
Naming rights
In 2011, local data communications company MS3 announced it had secured a five-year deal for the naming rights of Craven Park, the first such deal in the club's history. Fans of Hull Kingston Rovers voted on adopting either the name MS3 Craven Park or MS3 Stadium,[33][34] with the vote resulting in the stadium being renamed MS3 Craven Park.[35]
On 25 January 2014, Hull Kingston Rovers announced that it had secured a new stadium naming rights partnership with local communications provider, KC.[36] Under a five-year agreement, Craven Park was renamed the KC Lightstream Stadium (following re-branding, it became the KCOM Lightstream Stadium), not to be confused with the KCOM Stadium in the west of the city. On 3 February 2017, it was renamed again, and was then known as KCOM Craven Park.[37]
On 21 August 2019, Hull Kingston Rovers announced a new partnership with Hull College, which saw the stadium renamed to Hull College Craven Park Stadium. This partnership also helped provide new training opportunities for academy players, as well as providing Hull Kingston Rovers players to pursue degrees at the college.[38]
On 18 January 2022, Hull Kingston Rovers announced a new name for Craven Park after confirming a two-year partnership with the Sewell Group. The deal saw the stadium be renamed to Sewell Group Craven Park.[39]

Coldplay announced on 17 September 2024 that they were to perform two nights at Craven Park on 18-19 August 2025 as part of their 2025 UK leg of the Music of the Spheres World Tour, with 10% of ticket proceeds from each night set to go to the Music Venues Trust.[54][55]
Association football
On 21 October 2015, it was announced that Non-League football team Hull United A.F.C. will play their home games at the stadium.[3]
The greyhound racing operation followed Hull Kingston Rovers to their new home from Old Craven Park after it closed in 1989.[56] The first race meeting was held on 11 November 1989.[57] The management team of John Kennedy and Roy Thickett had overseen the move and set up racing for Monday, Thursday and Saturday nights. The new circuit had a circumference of 415 metres and race distances of 290, 462, 490, 655 & 705 metres. Prentice Racing came in as new promoters during the nineties but the racing switched to the Boulevard Stadium in 2003.[58] Both the speedway and greyhound tracks were grassed over.
Speedway arrived in 1995 hosting the Hull Vikings but finished in 2005.
