A new fan zone and big screens are part of plans for the area surrounding Southampton's St Mary's Stadium.
The club has submitted proposals for a fan zone marquee with screens and a stage behind the Northam Stand.
There would also be more food and drink outlets and a new 4G playing area, but parking would be reduced.
The club said it would improve the experience of fans on matchdays and could also be used to show other events such as the Olympics.
Under the plans submitted to Southampton City Council, a stage, food and drink concessions and a new 4G playing area would be installed behind the Chapel Stand, while a third area would be created behind the Kingsland Stand.
