Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney aim to transform Wrexham's Racecourse Ground into one of the largest stadiums in English soccer.

  • Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, owners of Welsh soccer club Wrexham, plan to increase the stadium's capacity to 55,000 seats.
  • The expansion is part of their vision to elevate Wrexham to the Premier League, following the club's back-to-back promotions.
  • Current challenges include navigating stringent UK building regulations, which have slowed progress.
  • The owners have already made significant investments in the club, including securing its first stadium sponsor.
  • Wrexham's Racecourse Ground is the world's oldest international football stadium still in use, hosting its first game in 1877.
