"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 to examine the feasibility of any redevelopment last year, 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. It remains to be seen whether a larger-scale redevelopment would mean Arsenal having to play matches elsewhere something the club avoided when they left Highbury after a report in the Telegraph on Tuesday claimed a temporary move to Wembley could be on the cards."
Arsenal are exploring expansion of the Emirates Stadium from its current 60,700 capacity to around 70,000 to boost match-day revenues and potentially reclaim the largest club ground in London. More than 100,000 supporters are on the waiting list for season tickets. Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) is believed to support the increase and is reportedly ready to commit funds. A working group was set up last year to examine feasibility and discussions are ongoing with no decision made. Options include changing stand gradients to add thousands of seats or smaller upgrades with less disruption. A larger project could require temporary relocation for matches, and Arsenal did not apply to host Euro 2028 matches with potential redevelopment in mind.
