Ewood Park has undergone it's biggest renovation in decades as Blackburn Rovers prepare to return home this month.
A new surface has been installed at Ewood, replacing the 35-year-old pitch which caused them issues last season. That has come at a multi-million-pound cost, though many will argue it was overdue.
After complaints from players and the staff, as well as the obvious postponements, Rovers should have a surface to be proud of. It will make a big difference as Tony Mowbray looks to implement a more possession-based style.
Investment has also been made at the Academy and the senior training centre to improve facilities behind the scenes.
Whilst that won't be apparent to the match-going fan, the Ewood Park pitch should be.
"There's been a significant investment as you've seen," explained Chief Executive Steve Curwood.
"I think over three million is being spent on the stadium this season. Naturally, the pitch was 35 years old.
"The well-documented issues we had in the two abandoned games, which have probably affected not just the result on the day or the results on the day but had an impact more generally around the building and the people in the building.
"I think it's significant that the pitch has been replaced and it's been stitched at the moment. There's the artificial run-off and coloured surface around it. I think it's fabulous.
"Hopefully fans will now see a stadium pitch which is really fit for maybe the Premier League even."
There have been further changes following supporter feedback. Rovers say they're keen to improve matchday experiences so smaller, perhaps more important elements, are being improved.
Whilst fans will be nonplussed about steelworks, the price and quality of a pie and a pint will help. Curwood explained further how food offerings and other improvements have been made to try to boost fan experience and engagement.
With Rovers' revenue and attendances amongst the smaller in the Championship, this is vital to help increase intake.
"There are other significant developments. Obviously, the work that's going on structurally on the roofs and the painting and things like that," he explained.
"There are other smaller changes. I think the kiosks are being upgraded. The food offering is changing following feedback from fans.
"So there are a number of things that are going on in respect to the stadium which hopefully fans will see when they turn up to Ewood this season.
"Moving forward, I think we do need to look at how we grow the fan base. It is difficult, as I said, a smaller town, a smaller fan base more generally in the Championship.
"But it doesn't mean we can't come up with innovative ways to grow that and it is about the matchday experience. It is sometimes about the weather. It can be about the kick-off times. We'll see them move to 12.30s and awkward evening nights and all that comes with that.
"But I think more generally, there are ways we should look to increase."
Rovers have held fan takeovers previously and consulted with supporters to try and drive better engagement - and in turn revenue. How meaningful that has been previously, some fans would debate.
Curwood wants to speak to more supporters to try and create meaningful change that can help everyone.
"I think it's probably back over to fans as well," he admitted.
"This is something which maybe I need to look at on a regular basis is to seek feedback and ideas. I spoke to the business community last Friday about how important they are.
"We haven't got all the answers. We are sometimes too obsessed with what's going on at our desk. It is about collaboration, as I've said, and coming up with innovation and ideas, however ridiculous they may sound, is good.
"I've travelled around the world watching football. So you're always looking at ideas. I've spent quite a bit of time watching games in Germany and the fan culture and all these sort of things.
"There's a lot to learn. There's a lot we can bring into the matchday experience but we need help in delivering some of those things."
