It has been a challenging first half of the 2022/23 Championship season for Hull City.

After a busy summer transfer window saw a number of high profile signings join the club, the Tigers enjoyed an four-match unbeaten run to start the league season.

However, that was followed by a drop in form that saw Shota Arvelaze sacked after losing five of his next six games.

Results were then mixed under interim manager Andy Dawson, before former Hull defender Liam Rosenior returned to the club to become their permanent manager at the start of November.

With Rosenior picking up four points from his first three games in charge, Hull are now spending the World Cup break 20th in the Championship table, one point clear of the relegation zone.

There will therefore be a hope that Rosenior can help keep the Tigers in the second-tier this season, by engineering something of a turnaround at the MKM Stadium.

But just how does the capacity of Hull's home ground, compare with the home stadiums of the teams they are competing with in the Championship?

Here, we've taken a look at the capacties of all 24 stadiums in English football's second-tier, according to FootballGroundMap.com, in order to find out.

To begin with, the capcity of Hull's MKM Stadium is designated as 25,400, which is the 12th highest of all the grounds currently hosting Championship football, meaning the Tigers are in the middle ground in that respect.

In terms of the grounds that are closest to the MKM Stadium in terms of capcity, West Brom's The Hawthorns is the next highest, with a capcity 26,850.

Meanwhile, Wigan Athletic's DW Stadium has just 262 fewer seats than the MKM Stadium, with a capacity of 25,138.

Looking at a wider range there is one only one stadium that has over 10,000 more seats than Hull's ground, which is Sunderland's Stadium of Light (48,707).

Elsewhere, Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium, The Cardiff City Stadium, Bramall Lane of Sheffield United, Coventry's CBS Arena, and Blackburn Rovers' Ewood Park, all have stadiums with at least 5,000 more seats than the MKM Stadium.

In the opposite direction, both Rotherham's New York Stadium (12,021) and Luton's home, Kenilworth Road (10,356) have over 10,000 fewer seats than the MKM Stadium.

There are also three other grounds: The Swansea.com Stadium, Millwall's The Den, and Loftus Road of QPR, that have a capacity that is lower than The MKM Stadium, by at least 5,000.
