The Boston Community Stadium, currently known as the Jakemans Community Stadium for sponsorship reasons, is a football stadium in Boston, Lincolnshire, England. It has been the home of National League side Boston United since 2020. It has a capacity of 5,061 spectators.[2]
Boston United played at York Street from their inception in 1933.[3] However, on 10 April 2019, the club announced they were to be leaving the ground at the end of the 2019–20 season, with a new stadium set to begin construction on a site in Wyberton.[4] Despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the new stadium was completed within two years. For the first few months of the 2020–21 season, Boston groundshared with nearby Gainsborough Trinity at the Northolme.
On 5 December 2020, the Pilgrims played their first fixture at the new stadium. Played behind closed doors due to the pandemic, they were beaten 2–0 by visitors Chorley.[5] The first fixture played at the ground with spectators was Boston's 5–0 friendly win over Lincoln City on 17 July 2021, which saw 1,004 spectators attend.[6][7]
On 13 March 2025, Pilgrims' vice-chairman Neil Kempster announced that the club was hoping that work on the still unbuilt South Stand would begin later that year, also accompanying a new "sports hub".[8][9] There are also currently plans to replace the pitch at the ground, a renovation which is set to cost Boston approximately £60,000.[10]
The record attendance set at the stadium is 3,865 spectators, which was recorded on 18 April 2025 when Boston won 2–0 at home to Wealdstone in the National League.[1]
