Arsenal Explore Emirates Overhaul to Top 70,000 Capacity, Temporary Wembley Move Weighed

The push reflects pressure from a vast season-ticket queue alongside lagging matchday income.

Overview

  • The club has acknowledged feasibility talks, though no planning submission or final board approval has been announced.
  • Proposals center on reconfiguring stand gradients and seating within the existing bowl while keeping the outer shell largely unchanged.
  • Construction of this scope is expected to cost several hundred million pounds and to affect most areas of the stadium.
  • A temporary switch for home matches is under consideration, with Wembley identified in reports as the leading option during works.
  • The expansion targets demand from a waiting list exceeding 100,000 and seeks to strengthen matchday revenue against leading rivals.
