New Queens Park is a football stadium that is planned to be finished by 2018. It will be located in Old Oak Common, and is to be the new home ground of Queens Park Rangers once it is finished. Queens Park Rangers' current stadium is Loftus Road, which holds only 18,000 fans, while New Queens Park will hold 40,000. The main reason of the move is to expand the number of fans QPR can have at their home games. QPR chairman and owner Tony Fernandes said that QPR need "more than an 18,000 capacity" and that New Queens Park "will bring a vibrant new destination to London, boosting local businesses, attracting new visitors and tourism and creating a thriving community".
