Plans to install more seats are in the works, according to The Times, with every penny paramount in the battle for Premier League supremacy.
The report claims Arsenal generated £102.6million from games in 2022/23, with the Arsenal Supporters’ Trust expecting that figure to increase to more than £120million in the next set of accounts. This is reportedly due to the club reaching the Champions League knockout stages last season.
Tottenham, meanwhile, earned £117.6m in matchday revenue in 2022/23 with their larger capacity allowing them to rake in more money. They also enjoy earnings from hosting the NFL when it comes to town as well as concerts from some of music’s biggest names.
It is not yet clear how Arsenal plan to increase the capacity of the Emirates Stadium beyond its current limit of 60,780. The roof was designed to ensure enough sunlight reached the turf, while there is reportedly little to no hope of lowering the pitch due to the impact it will have on sight lines.
