Arsenal shelves major Emirates Stadium expansion plans
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 3 Oct, 14:18 · Archive
Arsenal has abandoned plans for a major expansion of the Emirates Stadium. The club set up a working group in 2024 led by chief executive Richard Garlick to examine the feasibility of expanding the stadium's current 60,704 capacity. Some reports suggested the club could temporarily hold home matches at Wembley during major redevelopment.
The club has decided against the major redevelopment and will instead concentrate on smaller improvements to hospitality and retail facilities. The Mirror Sport reports that the original plans would have expanded capacity to 80,000, but the scale of the project and the need for a temporary home led to the decision to shelve the scheme.
