Inside Chelsea’s £1 5B Stadium Upgrade

[@the_one1001]

Chelsea need to build a minimum 80k stadium, this 60k number is 20 years too late… If they can’t make stamford bridge 80k, they should build a huge stadium at earls court

[@judegoodman918]

100% agree. 1.5bn + spend to add 20k seats is just a waste of everyone’s time. 70k should be the minimum. With a retractable roof like they’ve put on the new Bernabeu.

@ totally mate, This is Chelsea at the end of the day, they have a solid fanbase, rich history, esp over the past 30 years… This is a top english side, 70k is the bare minimum, they need a stadium that reflects the clubs stature, I would personally want the bigger clubs to start building 100k state of the art stadiums, but I can live with 70-80k stadiums… We could host a world cup here with the stadiums being built…

@@the_one1001 I think there would be some pushback on club stadiums being bigger than the national stadium (Wembley) and I also believe a stadium can be too big where the matchday experience isn’t great. Anything between 70-85k I think makes sense. I think we should be looking at the Lucas oil arena and Gazprom arena for design inspiration

Never going to happen

[@MIKE7-77]

Chelsea and Italy, the most unlikely place in the world to build a new stadium

[@garyallsopp3997]

They need to get on with it they are getting left behind every other big club .

[@reyrey21995]

A big problem is also them hotels attached to the Shed end. Once they go, a reno is possible

[@leonduke]

It’s not, we own them
