Is this the first ever time Leicester will play in an open air stadium in a competitive fixture?

Open air stadium?
Glad I'm not the only one that didn't get that
No roof. Not, you know, 'openair'. Shhhh.

About as good a draw as we could have hoped for. No easy fixtures but to avoid the big 4 at this stage is great. Most of these teams will underestimate us and that is a strength we can use..
The ground is partially roofed:
Filbert Street wasn't fully roofed until 1927. So the answer to your question is no.
... I think Charlton Athletic's ground at the Valley was all terracing into the 1920s but they weren't in the same division as LCFC then...
