Of the current 60,000 spectators, the arena can increase the capacity to 70 thousand, which will make it the largest club in London, ahead of Tottenham’s stadiums (62850) and West Heme (62500).
The expansion of the home arena is expected to allow Arsenal to earn a few tens of millions of pounds annually than it is now.
However, potential reconstruction will be difficult. The club is limited in its capabilities in terms of construction work through the infrastructure and the form of its current stadium, as well as the surrounding area of North London. There were speculative conversations about numerous ways to solve this problem, including the use of private lodges, changing the size of the seats and the distance between them, as well as adjusting the slope of the stand, but they are associated with some difficulties.
The final decision has not yet been made, but in Arsenal considers the possibility of temporary moving to Wemble, if the reconstruction of their arena is delayed for more than a few months during the off -season.
The works are estimated at several hundred million euros, but potential changes, if the club is decided on them, will come no earlier than a few years. So far, it is only about previous plans and calculations.
It is emphasized that Arsenal’s boss inspired the experience of their colleagues from Real Madrid, who carried out work on the reconstruction of the stadium without transferring home matches from the structure.
