Since the Saudi takeover in 2021, discussions on Newcastle United's St James' Park have intensified. The iconic 52,000-seat stadium requires modernisation for revenue maximisation. Newcastle's board is leaning towards a £1.2 billion proposal for a new 70,000-seat stadium near the existing ground. This plan would partially utilize the land of St James' Park and encroach upon Leazes Park. An alternative option includes expanding the current stadium’s Gallowgate End, costing £600-800 million to achieve a new capacity over 60,000. Final plans await approval from stakeholders, with PIF making the ultimate decision.
There is an ongoing debate regarding the future of Newcastle's St James' Park stadium, with options for modernization or a new construction being explored.
Newcastle United is considering building a new stadium adjacent to St James' Park, leading to a potential 1.2 billion investment with a greater capacity.
