"Arsenal are looking to upgrade the Emirates Stadium. With the Gunners flying high in the Premier League these days, the 60,000-capacity ground looks rather modest compared to some of the biggest in Europe and with Arsenal celebrating the Emirates' 20th anniversary next year, expansion is just around the corner. Ranked at No.11 in FourFourTwo's list of the best football stadiums in Britain, N5 could be about to see huge renovations: here's everything you need to know."
"Unlike the likes of Anfield or Old Trafford, Arsenal can't exactly build on the corners of the the Emirates Stadium, given that it's a wraparound bowl with no separate stands. The ground was designed, however, to cope with a modest increase in capacity: it's unknown just yet how that could possibly manifest but the expectation is that the ground won't be undergoing a radical transformation. What will the Emirates Stadium look like after expansion?"
Arsenal are looking to upgrade the 60,000-capacity Emirates Stadium ahead of its 20th anniversary, seeking to increase capacity while retaining design integrity. The ground's wraparound bowl and absence of separate stands limit corner expansion, but the stadium was designed to accommodate a modest capacity rise. Two main options exist: add seats subtly around the bowl to maintain the original look, or rebuild one end where space permits. The Emirates' design draws from Lisbon's Estadio Da Luz, featuring flowing curves, a dipping roof and an oval shape that could allow filling curved corners or adding higher-tier seats. Nearby flats and a train line constrain outward expansion.
