Businessman Todd Boehly, new owner of Chelseais considering building a new stadium for the club, according to the newspaper The Telegraph. The team’s current home ground, Stamford Bridge, could be renovated or even demolished in the process.
The idea of the new owner is to have one of the most modern stadiums in Europe. Currently, Stamford Bridge has a capacity for 40,000 people, considered small compared to other teams in the English Championship. The ground has been Chelsea’s home ground since 1909.
So far, the tendency is for Boehly to opt for demolishing the stadium, building a new one by 2030. However, as this would mean leaving the place without matches for a long time, an alternative could be just an expansion at Stamford Bridge, as well as the Liverpool are making Anfield their home.
Since it was sold in May 2022, Chelsea has been undergoing a transformation on and off the pitch. Under the new management, the club spent the most on transfers in the world in the January window. Currently, the London team ranks 10th in the Premier League, with 34 points.
