🚨 Arsenal have SCRAPPED plans for a major expansion of the Emirates Stadium after more than two years of reviewing redevelopment options.
The proposed project could have increased capacity from 60,704 to around 80,000, but the club have opted for a “CONTINUED EVOLUTION” of the stadium instead.
The main concern was the disruption a large-scale rebuild could cause, including the possibility of temporarily moving away from the Emirates.
Instead, Arsenal will focus on improving the MATCHDAY EXPERIENCE, hospitality, retail facilities, safe standing and 5G connectivity.
The club have also assured the Arsenal Supporters’ Trust that there are currently NO PLANS TO REDUCE GENERAL ADMISSION SEATS.
