Arsenal's Big Plans: Emirates Stadium Renovation Explained!

[@BetterBuilds-ts4ky]

What do you think about this??? Do they need a stadium renovation or get a new stadium? 🤔 Thanks for watching and if you do like the video, please like, share and subscribe 😊

[@Brodda-Syd]

Nope. We need at least 10,000 more seats!

[@nigeats65]

Typical modern day builds. From houses that have snagging issues, high rises that get demolished after a generation. We have pre Victorian buildings that will out last the next Nuclear holocaust but modern technology is cheap, quick to 'throw up' & badly built. The developer gets rich quick.

[@LeoBshaw]

A new stadium that’s less than 20 years old?! 🙈🤣

[@nigeats65]

Clearly too much money involved in football these days that they really don't know how to spend it. So they waste it.

[@LFKGooner]

Any concept photos on how it's going to look after the renovations?

[@bonesnasri]

We need to expand the ground to 70000-75000 so the real fans can start getting tickets again and not sitting on the crap ballot system and not getting any games 🤷‍♂️

[@aguywithaview]

Islington won't allow an expansion unless we can get the residents on board and pay for the renovation of Holloway Road Station and fund additional match day buses from TFL. Even if it happened the ballot scheme isn't going anywhere as there are more people with membership than the stadium could ever accommodate.

[@patricksmith9656]

Good luck trying to get home with 75000 pouring out of the stadium

[@BreakBeatStu]

To be fair the ballot system is better than it was before. We defo need expansion though

[@zansportsnewstv473]

[@SsematimbaFred]

I think we need to increase on our sitting capacity to atleast 80,000

[@doodah111]

Need a minimum capacity of 80,000

[@DeathCab4Cutie]

They should have built it to house 75 - 80 thousand in the first place !

[@MARMALARD49]

That would be nice, but the transport infrastructure isn't anywhere near good enough to support that. The capacity just isn't there. The Piccadilly line puts on extra trains, but it only just copes. If there was an extra 20k people, it would be a total mess. Traffic also get's blocked up after games, so buses don't really work.

[@dazza9448]

When you consider the vast waiting list when we were at Highbury, it’s baffling why they didn’t make the stadium much bigger than 60,000 in the first place

[@markjohnathanappleton8642]

Islington council said 62.000 max

[@stefandinu6389]

I dont think the council allowed them to make it bigger.

[@DreDeluxe76]

Yes, there are infrastructure challenges, particularly around transport, which limit the amount of seats the stadium can safely be expanded by. Outside of heavy investment into the surrounding tube services & road infrastructure, in addition to having to buy out neighbouring residential properties, the Emirates won’t be getting any larger for the foreseeable future.

[@dazza9448]

@@stefandinu6389 so we can never expand then?

[@MrSlayerGod]

@@dazza9448 Arsenal Football Club is exploring the possibility of expanding the Emirates Stadium. The club's co-chair, Josh Kroenke, confirmed in July 2024 that the club is considering upgrades and potential expansion.

[@wlhoven]

A bigger stadium is needed, time to extend if that's possible.

[@stevedrbn]

for me we need a 100,000 stadium.i'm something like 59,059 on the list and i've been on it for years and it's hardly gone down.i doubt if i'll see a season ticket in my lifetime. we need 100,000 and even then the demand will be more than the supply.

[@kevinfoster7108]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@kevinfoster7108]

So that must mean that old Trafford needs to be 200,000 then🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@biggsleezy]

I went to 2 Emirates cup games one last yr and another this year, they are 2 of the 3 games I've ever watched live as a stadium spectator, the other was a Wembley England Friendly prior to WC-2018. I think they should be showing more replays on screens the way they show them on TV, e.g. foul calls, clear chances, etc, I don't know if there's something against this in professional football in general, but at least this is one thing that'd make it better than watching it on TV.

[@stubuchanan5129]

Needs to be 80,000 plus and it would still be full every game !!!

[@Ian-e5s7e]

I agree we need to increase capacity to 75k...West Ham and Spurs have caught us up and get more!

[@leesheldrick9447]

How about adding another 20000 seats so we can see them more than once a season I applied every game last season I got 1 ticket, I’ve been on the season ticket waiting list nearly 10 year it’s an absolute joke

[@Ben_Gunner]

Showing old trafford roof leaking and saying thats the Emirates was enough for me to realise this is nonsense. The renovations are in the pipeline but not this trash. The exterior has already been done and celebrated about two years ago.

[@darrengreenacre1142]

[@MaryKatele]

A new stadium would be a fortress, let's go with it

[@DuncanMcCreadie-bw5hv]

As a lifetime attendee since 1949 the rhetoric on here seems more intent on improving the corporate customer’s facilities with their upmarket lounges and seating. Concentrate on the terraces where the real fans congregate and increase their egress and access points. Having stood and later sat in the wind, snow and rain at Highbury for an age prior to The Emirates those conditions never bothered me but what happens on the pitch does where packed houses plays a significant part. All that about the big screen improvements has its place but not above capacity and viewing consequently those at the helm needs to put the supporter’s requirements first.

[@kgabomolokomme2553]

Would be nice to see the seat numbers again. They are to faded now. Local council and policing authorities will need to be contacted over the extra seating. 70,000 + is needed for us real fans to gain a better chance in the ballot system. That needs some sort of fixing first. Since 2006 I've only managed to get into the Emerites on 4 occasions. Only 3 for matchdays. COYG'S 😮

Arsenal is not just a football club from the North London, but instead it’s a global club that has a huge fan base all around the world, my dream is to come and experience the match day at The Emirates someday. Hopefully

[@jigzonyt517]

The fact this stadium is 20 years old shows how good it was at the time. Its looking 20 years old out the front lots of fading on the signages they should be done each year in my opionion. drop the enirates parnership so we can have our stadium named invincibles stadium or whatever they like. Increased seating to lower the ticket prices. And hold events there like other stadiums again bringind ticket prices down as the stadium can being in more revenue.

[@KwestTheDon]

Stadium needs a refresh and upgrade, In terms of increasing capacity.....that will not happen due to the small train station not being able to handle high passenger numbers

[@NoraFuen]

I believe this will bring great changes to the stadium

[@mvp_kryptonite]

Can’t remember what screens they had in an American stadium but they were huge, get them installed at the Emirates. Expand the stadium capacity too and take your time with the rest. Obviously fix the roof

[@Ian-e5s7e]

More lifts around the ground as climbing steps is a killer. Took some from potentially being built away and not enough. The lift shafts have been bricked up so instead of two only one. Also, proper restaurants serving good, inexpensive food

[@emmaredgate]

For all of you saying that we need more seats so the real fans can go again. I'm a season ticket holder and nobody wanted to go when we were 8th and Emery was manager. What happens if we have another bad patch? are any of you gonna turn up then?

[@dalearden6453]

Yeah nobody wanted to turn up but the season tickets were paid up so your argument is nonsense. Arsenal could sell out a 80K plus stadium every year on season tickets the demand is there.

[@angelajuarez14]

En lo personal, yo haría un nuevo estadio súper moderno con más capacidad para el público, mejores luces, mejor todo. Hay que actualizarlo.

[@CalvinMOfficial]

More seats are needed, asap, 80,000 minimum

[@nawejmbav4823]

Improve sitting capacity to 75k-80k seats. As we re-emerge from the slumbers, we need more fans coming to gametime.

[@leecroft8774]

The only upgrade worth making would be to build standing terraces which would increase capacity and hopefully lower prices.

[@mpproductions2770]

Lower the pitch and add safe stand to the front row

[@LJemm]

The reason the stadium won’t be expanded past 60,000 anytime soon is because there is a requirement by the council to add an additional tube station which Arsenal applied for but it was rejected.

[@paulkay9563]

we need more seats so more fans can get in! im silver member and cant get a ticket, the ballot system is rubbish. dont want all the other stuff give me 10,000 more seats please.

[@WaitKlaaw]

Ive heard that the Kroenke's are trying to work with Islington council to increase that capacity to 70k and improve the stations

[@GQ_Man01]

We should expand the stadium to 75K-80K so other fans like myself can attend matches, even then I think I would still struggle getting tickets.

[@nevidimka6353]

Basically, a bunch of useless upgrades that is a waste of money. ANything other than expanding the stadium to 80000-90000 capacity and redoing the entire outer facade of the stadium, is a waste of time.

[@108u9]

IMO the management needs to not just make everything “bigger”, “better” like the typical American style. In the end, that’s what every stadium devolves to. Just bigger and more things. More screens, more plush, more this that and the other. They all just look the same. IMO they should infuse what Highbury had with its Art Deco stylings, bring Wenger back in even if it’s just as a consultant to the project, and really develop the stadium as a real project in situ and not just more glass, revenue churning mechanism

[@adamkelly3924]

Shame the local authorities wouldn’t let us add to the capacity. Have to take in to account the infrastructure in and around the stadium

[@KabzieMusic]

Who really cares about the ‘digital experience’ or whether we serve a better cheese plate than Spurs. Focus on the basics! How about: safe standing areas? How about expanding capacity at least to the 70,000 level, which would not require radical changes? With United, Barcelona, Real etc at 100,000 how will we compete with 60,000; we could soon be only the sixth largest sports stadium in London. The club has done a good job of improving atmosphere by allocating areas to the ‘ultras’ - but it’s a tiny percentage of the total capacity. Give them the entire Clock End lower tier! Or even the North Bank.

[@SuperMagnum83]

Wembley: 90K, Twickenham: 82K, London: 68K, TH Stadium: 62K, that Makes Emirates the fifth biggest in London. If you also mean a new 60K+ build for Chelsea then that won't be anytime soon, 2030 at the very earliest.

[@aidanphillips9337]

What about increasing the stadium capacity?

[@stevearno100]

I was at one of the last games at "Highbury " then when I went to my first game at Emirates , I said... They could have made it 100k capacity and they would have filled it. I was extremely bewildered when they announced 60k capacity. I thought what's the point it will be obsolete in no time .. The Emirates stadium is nice - my dad and mum lived where the Co-Op funeral shop is on the highstreet in the 60s ..They ran a shop back then ( the co-op building ) . But the lodger burnt it down , falling asleep with a lit cigarette. So they moved to Hampshire. where the North star appeared over the hospital where I was born and I was visited by 3 wise men bearing gifts . In later years- I done a walking tour with my dad around London. We visited places he grew up., worked , met my mum etc etc Emirates looks different not a match day - I surprised how quick you can walk around a 60k stadium. Also had to laugh at a sign = "no football "

[@ottson]

They only got permission from the council for 60k, even though they wanted more. It depends on public transport capacity etc.

[@grahammason8407]

It was a bad design from the start. Pity the brief should have had to design it around the spirit of the Kop of the Manor Ground and the North Bank of Highbury ...a missed opportunity sadly.

[@graham1979]

I love watching our club, but I’ve always disliked the stadium in general. It’s basically a concrete bowl. Inside it isn’t even decorated. It’s ugly. And is only good to look at in more exclusive areas. We need a revamp badly. And I’m definitely happy we will be getting one. But…. I’d like to see parts of the stadium extended. There’s areas where the walls dip and that should be filled to add more seating. Looking at the areas, I’d expect somewhere between 5 and 10 thousand seats could be added. Running screens around the underside of the roof could be added. Instead of big eye sore screens. But for me, a majority clean up needs to be done on the surrounding areas. It’s just grey upon grey.

[@patl709]

Not excited by any of this. Yes the stadium needs a bit of a refresh but the people asking for 70 to 80k capacity are deluded because: Islington council will not support an increase in capacity;and, if they did, the transport infrastructure in the area will not cope with the higher numbers as it is already struggling with the current capacity. My one complaint about the stadium is how poor and unwelcoming the lower tier concourse is. The food outlets are very poor and concourse itself feels like you’re in an underpass rather than a modern world class sports arena.
