Arsenal are exploring options to renovate the Emirates Stadium in a bid to cash-in on high demand for tickets that will help them move level with matchday revenue at rival clubs, according to reports.
The Gunners have called the 60,000-seater stadium home ever since leaving their iconic Highbury ground in 2006, but have seen other clubs expand above that capacity since then.
Manchester United can still claim to have England’s biggest club stadium with Old Trafford able to seat 74,310 supporters at matches, while Tottenham‘s new state-of-the-art facility holds 62,850 fans.
Arsenal are now considering expanding the Emirates as they attempt to generate greater revenue from matchday attendances with Spurs earning roughly £6million from every home game, as reported by The Times.
Expansions at West Ham and Liverpool have further plummeted the Emirates to fifth-place in the Premier League‘s capacity standings and a renovation would be needed to jump back above both clubs.
