Overview
- Reports outline reconfiguring stands and seating within the existing bowl while keeping the stadium’s outer shell largely unchanged.
- Media estimates put the project cost in the region of £500m, though plans and timelines remain unconfirmed.
- Any large-scale works would likely require playing home matches elsewhere, with Wembley identified as the most practical option.
- Islington Council says it is not in formal discussions with the club and no planning application has been submitted.
- Arsenal’s exploration is driven by sustained demand, including a season‑ticket waiting list exceeding 100,000, and the goal of boosting matchday revenue under financial rules.
