What we know about Arsenal’s plans to renovate Emirates Stadium

  • Arsenal co-chair Josh Kroenke confirmed that the club is developing a plan to renovate the Emirates Stadium, with chief executive Richard Garlick leading the discussions.
  • The stadium, now 20 years old, is being considered for an upgrade to enhance the matchday experience for supporters and potentially increase its 60,704 capacity due to high demand.
  • Kroenke expressed a desire to preserve the stadium's character while modernising it, drawing parallels to the club's history at Highbury and considering lessons from facilities like SoFi Stadium.
  • Previous discussions have included raising the four corners of the stadium, though the club is mindful of maintaining home advantage during any works.
  • Kroenke said that Arsenal's recent title win has not altered their transfer plans, which include signing a left-sided player and at least two other additions, but acknowledged it might create new opportunities.
