The MKM Stadium is Hull’s main outdoor sports venue, shared by Hull City AFC and rugby league club Hull FC. Opened in 2002 beside West Park, it gives the city a steady run of football, rugby league and event work across much of the year.
What happens here
- Hull City Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup home matches.
- Hull FC Super League rugby league fixtures.
- Concerts, community events, conferences and private hire.
Who runs hospitality and catering
The stadium’s event operation recruits across both football and rugby matchdays, with roles in bars, kiosks, hospitality suites, stewarding, cleaning and event logistics. Because two resident clubs use the venue, staff may be able to pick up more dates than at a football-only ground of similar size.
What’s it like to work here
MKM Stadium shifts can feel different depending on the code: football crowds and rugby league crowds move through the building in different rhythms, and hospitality demand changes by fixture. That variety is useful if you want experience across several event types without leaving one venue.
For workers in Hull and the East Riding, it is the obvious starting point for stadium work.
Other operators
Large concerts and non-matchday events may bring in additional security, staging, cleaning and traffic-management contractors.
