Arsenal eye expansion of home base to 70,000
The Guardian
|October 08, 2025
Arsenal are exploring the possibility of expanding the Emirates Stadium in a move that could restore its status as the biggest club ground in London.
The Emirates Stadium has a 60,700 capacity, placing it behind Tottenham's and West Ham's homes, which were built after Arsenal moved from Highbury in 2006. There is believed to be an appetite from the club's American owner, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), to increase that to 70,000, which would significantly boost match-day revenues, and there are more than 100,000 supporters on the waiting list for season tickets.
Arsenal set up a working group last year to examine the feasibility of any redevelopment, with sources indicating that discussions are continuing and that no decision has yet been made. A number of options are understood to have been looked at, including changing the gradient of the stands to allow the addition of thousands more seats, or a much smaller upgrade that would mean less disruption.
