Bournemouth submit Vitality Stadium expansion plans
It currently holds 11,286, so the increase of up to 9,215 seats will occur from demolishing the existing South Stand to build a new grandstand and by expanding the North and East stands.

The plan - available on the BCP Council planning website - also shows how additional seats will be made by infilling all four stadium corners.
Bournemouth agreed a deal to buy the stadium back from Structadene in April, 20 years after they sold it to the property company to avoid going into administration.
Foley was keen to redevelop the stadium as building a new stadium would have taken five or six years.
There are also plans to modernise the facility with new perimeter fencing and relocated turnstiles, a new ticket office and fan zone and additional hospitality space.
Bournemouth plan hold a public exhibition at Vitality Stadium on Monday, 21 July between 15:30 and 20:00 BST.

WNBA Expansion Team Brings Back Nostalgic Name, Portland Fire
FILE - From left, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, Alex Bhathal and Lisa Bhathal Merage appear at ... More an event to award Portland a WNBA franchise on Sept. 18, 2024, at the Moda Center in Portland. (AP Photo/Anne M. Peterson, File) On Tuesday, July 15, just days before the exciting start to All-Star weekend taking place in Indianapolis, home of WNBA phenomenon Caitlin Clark, WNBA expansion franchise Portland dropped their name and logo: Portland Fire. The name and logo was a nostalgic touch, giving the brand an uplift from when the city had a team from 2000 to 2003. The team is leaning into the nickname of the city, the Rose City but also on the long-standing history of being passionate and fiery women's sports fans. Additionally, the name has a direct tie to the Portland Thorns, the NWSL team that is owned by RAJ Sports, the same investment group that now owns the Portland Fire as well. The two teams have been purposely intertwined from the beginning. When Portland was announced as one of the next WNBA expansion cities, plans were revealed for joint training facilities between the Thorns and now Fire. It seems compared to other expansion teams that have received flack and disapproval for their name and logo from fans (i.e., Toronto Tempo and now Boston Legacy), Portland tied themselves to the history of the city as well as their roots in the WNBA from decades prior. Claire Hamill, Portland Fire Interim President said, "As a city that has long championed women's sports, Portland is ready to reclaim its place in the WNBA and reignite its connection to the game on the world stage. We are thrilled to complete the journey of bringing professional women's basketball back to the Rose City, while honoring the legacy of the original franchise to blaze a new, bold path forward.' Portland seems to be headed in the right direction blazing their way forward. Similar to the trajectory of the Golden State Valkyries, the Fire have already surpassed 10,000 season ticket deposits demonstrating the rich interest and excitement in Portland for women's professional basketball.

H Mart readies arrival in Florida
This story was originally published on Grocery Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Grocery Dive newsletter. Asian supermarket chain H Mart is planning to arrive in Florida with an upcoming store in Orlando, according to the grocer's website. While the store has been in the works for several years, the grocer posted part- and full-time associate roles for the Orlando store in early July, signalling the location is getting ready to open. Florida will be the third new state H Mart has entered in the past year as the chain expands its U.S. presence. H Mart is ramping up its presence in new and existing markets. Earlier this year, H Mart made its debut in Nevada with the opening of a Las Vegas location, Eater reported. In June 2024, the grocer opened its first store in Utah, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Located at 7501 W. Colonial Drive, the upcoming Orlando H Mart will occupy a spot that formerly housed a Target and sits across the street from a Sam's Club. H Mart's website does not include details on the opening date for the store. Along with the Florida store, H Mart has four other locations listed as 'coming soon' on its website, with two each in California and Texas. H Mart, which has 18 stores in California, is planning to open in Dublin and Westminster. In Texas, where the grocer currently has six stores, the chain's upcoming locations are set for Dallas and Austin. According to local news reports, H Mart has plans for a store in Sugar Land in the greater Houston area. Founded in 1982 in New York City, H Mart has over a hundred stores across the U.S. Along with its store fleet expansion efforts, H Mart has also recently grown its grocery e-commerce presence, adding Uber and DoorDash as delivery partners last summer.
