Wimbledon plans to increase 'Henman Hill' capacity
Written by I Dig Sports
Wimbledon is planning to renovate its iconic 'Henman Hill' and increase capacity for the tournament's 150th anniversary.
Thousands of fans have watched action on a big screen from the grass slope which is open to supporters without show-court tickets.
The proposed revamp - which has not yet been approved - would increase the hill's capacity by 20% in time for the 2027 event and increase accessibility.
It is the latest change planned for the All England Club, after a 39-court expansion was approved last year.
"It's all about enhancing this whole area, obviously it's become extremely popular but accessibility is difficult for everyone," said four-time Wimbledon semi-finalist Tim Henman, after whom the hill was named.
"We are always looking to enhance wherever we are on the estate. This is going to be an exciting project."
