St James' Park

The proposed stadium is set to accommodate 65,000 spectators, surpassing the capacities of Arsenal's Emirates Stadium (60,704) and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (62,850), making it the third-largest football venue in England, trailing only Manchester United's Old Trafford (74,310) and the planned New Trafford Stadium (104,000).

 

Key features of the design include a 35-meter-high "stadium stack," enhancing the venue's prominence in Newcastle's skyline. The architectural approach draws inspiration from iconic structures like Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena, featuring a bubble-wrap-like façade, and incorporates a park-style walkway reminiscent of Wembley Way.

 

The estimated cost of the new stadium ranges between £2 billion and £3 billion. Funding is expected to come from Newcastle's owners, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which acquired the club in 2021.

 

Where's this from? I really hope its designed to be an atmosphere-generating stadium and has expansion potential.

Far too much is regurgitated about this subject for anything unofficial to be taken serious.

Hope’s article from Thursday re stadium -

 

Newcastle chiefs are continuing to work bureaucratic channels as the club prepare an update on the future of its stadium.

Rather than make an announcement and then realise what they want to do is not feasible, the club have been determined to get their ducks in a row before going public with their decision.

Confidential revealed in March that the intention is to move to a new stadium on Leazes Park and a video of how that would look was presented to the owners, with club executives proposing a capacity of 65,000.

Newcastle could have released that vision at the time - much like Manchester United did with their 'New Trafford' design - but there remained work to be done at a local and national level of Government. The lease of Leazes Park is one such consideration.

However, Confidential can reveal some additional detail around the proposed new stadium. We understand it would be 35 metres above the St James’ Stack, protecting its visibility around the city.

The Cathedral on the Hill, as St James’ Park has become known, is unique in that it stands proudly above the city centre and can be seen on the approach from every direction. Staff want to maintain that feature.

I’m also hearing that the club have been working with a company monitoring stadium atmospheres this season, with the intention of getting the acoustics right inside a new venue.

Lessons have been learnt from the likes of West Ham’s London Stadium, where the atmosphere has suffered. Preserving and enhancing the St James’ roar is chief among the club’s considerations when it comes to building a new home.

Construction company Laing O’Rourke are among those spoken to about the project.

I understand the scepticism but the club clearly do appreciate the atmosphere inside SJP and how that can affect the on-field performance. The "Two free drinks" deal tomorrow is evidence of that. Hopefully they'd be looking to improve the atmosphere in a new stadium.

The two free drinks is evidence of a shit tonne of back stock they need to get rid of, probably.

Possibly, but they've done it before I'm sure?

35 meters tall?

 

SJP is 91 meters tall.

SJP is 91 meters tall.

That makes it 106 metes then

and Sunderland get 40000 every home game

Where's that from?

[loki679]

Still think we should be going 70k minimum. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Yeah, 65k is too small.

No, it’s unclear what they mean about it. If it’s above the Stack, then it’s unclear if they mean total stadium size, or just that it’s 35m further up the hill.

I assume what they mean is that the stadium design will incorporate a fan zone, like the current Stack, which will be 35m high?

Yeah, another consideration that I have made. That would make it about the height of the Gallowgate, give or take.

It's pretty vague and not particularly well worded but that's the best I could come up with. 

 

Still not 100% on the capacity. On the face of it and extra 13k isn't bad but how much of that is going to be an extended hospitality offering?
