TA: Arsenal is evaluating how to renovate the Emirates Stadium. Temporary relocation for 1-2 years may have an impact.

Hupu, October 10th, TheAthleticUK Arsenal reporter team analyzed the expansion issue of the Emirates Stadium.

When the Kroenke family began to push forward with their reconstruction plans, they made it clear that they wanted Arsenal to be ambitious and creative. Typically, a development of this scale would undergo a feasibility study covering a variety of options and looking at the impact of varying degrees of change - what would happen if there were no changes, what would happen roughly.

They not only hope to increase the stadium capacity, but also hope to modernize and digitalize the entire stadium experience.

Arsenal has been aware for some time that the easiest way to earn thousands more tickets would be to reduce the ratio of general admission seats in the upper and lower tiers.

Tickets with higher ticket prices above the Executive Hospitality level need to retain extra comfort. But the rest can be gradually adjusted when there are no games in the summer, so as to ensure that fans can enjoy good services while watching games at the Emirates Stadium.

The question now is, if we really want to expand, should we consider temporary relocation?

For fans, traveling to and from Wembley Stadium to watch games also brings additional pressure. King's Cross station is often closed due to heavy footfalls during rush hour and the influx of thousands of football fans.

They had no choice but to walk along Euston Road in an attempt to find an alternative route to Wembley Stadium. Plus, having to slowly squeeze outside Wembley for an hour to get on the Tube after the game was unbelievable. It's all for a home game. Oh, that's so much fun.

If Arsenal need to rent another stadium for a year or two, Wembley Stadium should not be the only option. For competitive reasons, Tottenham Hotspur are certainly not in the mix. But West Ham United's London Bowl is another option.

Even if Wembley Stadium has problems creating an atmosphere, it is geographically more convenient to move to the London Bowl and the rent is much cheaper than renting Wembley Stadium.

It’s hard to imagine Mikel Arteta rushing to give up on all the positive feelings he gained at his home ground. His attention to detail and determination to create a vibrant home atmosphere are cornerstones he emphasizes time and time again. This is important to him. He emphasized this to his players and fans. He won't give up on this easily.

Even a temporary move can cause psychological damage. This is a piece of "junk" sandwiched in the middle of the reconstruction project.

This is not an easy job. But that doesn't stop Arsenal from pursuing the improvements they feel are necessary.

When the Emirates Stadium was completed, it was considered a pioneer in stadium experience, but it has fallen behind over the years as technology changes the pace of our daily lives. Comprehensive modernization is imperative.

For example, phone connections are terrible, and long-discussed improvements have yet to be implemented.

The public address system in some areas of the stadium is not perfect. The recent redevelopment has introduced an innovative system to allow fans to find food and beverage stalls more quickly. All of these factors go hand in hand with increased capacity.

The architect's task is to incorporate best practice into any scheme, whether it's seating dimensions, the slope of the stands, or removing the roof to create an extra storey.

In addition to improving the stadium atmosphere, there are other considerations that should also be taken into consideration. Can Arsenal create a "death atmosphere" when trailing by one goal? Dortmund's "Yellow Wall" has proven that it is possible in modern football to echo the vibration systems of old-fashioned home stands, so will the safer standing seats become an integrated feature?

However, the building itself is only one part of the infrastructure that requires attention. Working with local councils, emergency services and TfL, plans to accommodate an extra 10,000 (possibly more) people arriving and leaving the area safely present a considerable hurdle.

The current situation is that the two stations closest to the Emirates Stadium that operate normally outside of match days are forced to cease operations when large-scale events are held at the stadium due to their inability to pass large-scale crowd safety tests.

Holloway Road Subway Station relies on several old elevators to get up and down, and the entrance is located on a main road, so there is no obvious place for passengers to queue. Drayton Park tube station is a small suburban railway station. In this case, too many people can be dangerous.

For the Kroenke family, no matter how they achieve this goal, building another super stadium within the existing system, including SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, is clearly a challenge worth pursuing.
