It's a huge weekend for Luton Town Football Club - they're on the verge on joining teams like Manchester City and Arsenal in the Premier League.
If they win their Championship play-off final against Coventry on Saturday they will be back in the top league for the first time since 1992.
Two Luton fans took Ricky on a tour of the stadium which is like no other!

what happens on Saturday could transform Luton Town Football Club but it could also transform
the whole town this stadium is so old that if they do make it to the Premier League they will
have to make some big changes because heading out to the stands here is like walking back in time
there's a real charm to this stadium because it is so old it's a bit like being in a museum
it's definitely not like Anfield or Old Trafford you've got some really old seating
as well lots of the stadium is made out of concrete there's paint peeling away there's
even bits of the stadium made out of wood but what else is unique about this stadium
Mohammed Khadija how are you doing good yeah now you've got some impressive facts about it
what's your first one did you know that the Luton Town Football Stadium is the smallest
stadium in the whole of the championship the smallest I did not know that what else you
got this is Luton Town Football Stadium also known as Kenilworth Road it's over
100 years old and it was open in 1905 and there's houses all over the stadium
the stadium has more than 1000 seats there are exciting
plans for a new stadium which will have 26000 seats and hopefully will be finished by 2026
and this is what a lot of people have been talking about because the entrance for the away fans
is right in the middle of this street in between these terrace houses here this is where the
entrance is I've never seen anything like it before it's very odd because no other stadium
in the country has anything like this and when you go through you can see through to people's gardens
