Arsenal Weigh Emirates Overhaul Past 70,000 Seats, With Wembley Move on the Table

Club sources say feasibility work is ongoing and no final plan has been chosen or submitted for approval.

Overview

  • Proposals under discussion focus on reconfiguring the internal bowl by altering stand gradients and seating layouts while keeping the outer structure largely unchanged.
  • A temporary relocation to Wembley is being considered to allow construction to proceed, a step that would require agreement with the FA and mirrors Tottenham’s previous arrangement.
  • Reported cost estimates reach up to around £500 million, with the club targeting higher matchday income and relief for a season‑ticket waiting list exceeding 100,000.
  • Arsenal emphasize the exploratory nature of the project with options ranging from modest upgrades to major expansion, complicated by a tight 17‑acre site and local planning constraints.
  • Ownership group KSE brings major stadium experience, and Arsenal did not apply to host Euro 2028 matches as they evaluate redevelopment options.
