Chelsea submits plans for new 60,000-seat ground
Print Edition
Chelsea has submitted a planning application to build a new 60,000-seat stadium on the site of its Stamford Bridge ground, the Premier League champion announced yesterday.
“A planning application for a new stadium at Stamford Bridge with an expanded seating capacity has been submitted,” the club said. “This follows a successful consultation process during which we received very helpful feedback.” The plans involve the demolition of the current stadium at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea has played since 1905, and the construction of a new arena featuring a club shop and museum, plus restaurants and cafes. Stamford Bridge, in west London, last underwent major renovation in the late 1990s when its West Stand was rebuilt. The ground’s current 41,798 capacity restricts Chelsea’s ability to maximize match-day revenues.
