Centenary Square at Elland Road
A landmark worthy of 100 years of Leeds United.
14,500 stones. Countless memories.
The Challenge
Centenary Square was first introduced during Leeds United’s centenary celebrations as a fitting tribute to 100 years of football, community, and loyalty. The project gave supporters the chance to cement their place at Elland Road and be part of the club’s story.
Keen to protect the landmark’s long-term future and ensure that fans would be able to see their stones for many years to come, Leeds United appointed Intaglio in 2024 to rebuild the project from scratch.
The brief was to replace all 10,000+ stones using premium granite, restore every supporter’s inscription, and expand the design to include new sections, ensuring the landmark would stand proudly for decades to come following quality issues experienced with the original suppliers installation.
The Solution
Intaglio began by revisiting every fan inscription from the original installation – more than 10,000 in total – ensuring each message, name and crest choice was accurately recreated in durable granite.
Refitting a fan landmark
Working closely with Leeds United, the stones in Centenary Square were carefully reimagined to ensure supporters’ messages continue to be celebrated at the heart of the stadium environment. The project preserved the spirit of the original scheme while ensuring the installation continues to be a meaningful place for fans to connect with the club’s story.
Stadium-scale scheme, Individual care
Every stone was precision engraved and quality checked at our UK workshop before installation. A detailed location map was also created so supporters can easily find their stone within the layout, helping fans reconnect with the personal messages that form part of the club’s history.
Extending the Legacy
Following the success of the scheme, Leeds United extended Centenary Square to honour championship-winning managers Bielsa, Wilkinson and Farke. The new phase added more than 4,500 stones alongside three bespoke granite centrepieces. Supporters could also purchase replica stones and printed certificates as lasting mementos of their place in the club’s history.
The Results
Centenary Square now stands as one of Elland Road’s most distinctive features, providing an impactful space that connects generations and showcases the pride of Leeds United supporters.
