It needs to be at least 75k to be worth it. And we don't want to outgrow it quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Arsenal were at Highbury now, and building the Emirates, they wouldn’t be building what they have now. They have actually ended up stuck with a stadium that is just generic stadium that isn’t really distinguishable from the Stadium De Luz, or Atletico’s stadium. Spurs’ was more constrained with the footprint. The advantage both of them have though, is London prices for tickets, and of course London events. Arsenal used to host Brazils friendlies in Europe, however the invention of Nations League etc means this isn’t really an option anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 74,880. Biggest stadium in the league. We have an oil well, use it. Makes sure the seats are black, if we don't sell out we don't want it looking empty. Also, give away fans a bigger allocation too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 Was it the City of Manchester Stadium that was built with a certain capacity but with relatively simple expansion opportunities as part of the original design? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah, they dug down to add an extra tier and put a roof over 1 stand after the Commonwealth games. It is a semi-modular stadium where it is relatively easy for expansion. They have already carried out an expansion since their takeover, possibly 2, and are onto another one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 65,000 for starters but leave enough land around the stadium perimeter to cater for future expansion. Or build the infrastructure in such a way that its expandable e.g extra tiers, if need arises. So that we'll never be hamstrung again like today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Away fans will be entitled to a bigger capacity as our capacity grows. The thing we should be doing though is creating it so we don’t need a wall of stewards either side of them taking up unpaid seats, unless of course them lot down road come up for a game.

Expand Only if the capacity is sub 30k. Hence you never get an away allocation of more than 3k for a PL game, even at Old Trafford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
