《泰晤士报》英国媒体最新消息，阿森纳俱乐部已决定推迟实施其主场容纳8万观众的扩建工程。这一决策源于主教练阿尔特塔的考虑，他不愿干预目前球队良好的竞技状态。
经过深思熟虑，阿森纳决定放弃对酋长球场进行规模扩充至容纳8万观众的计划。主教练阿尔特塔坚持不希望因转移主场而干扰球队当前的良好表现，这一决策与热刺在告别白鹿巷球场后所遭遇的困境相呼应。
经过两年以上的精心策划，该俱乐部对球场升级计划进行了深入探讨。自2006年起投入使用的该球场，如今能接纳多达60704名热情的球迷。鉴于大规模的改造项目可能会迫使球队短期内更换主场，阿森纳俱乐部最终选择了一条渐进式升级的道路，放弃了全面翻新的方案。
在一场与球迷的交流活动中，阿森纳官方透露了对球场进行细微调整的计划。官方声明中提到：“我们对于酋长球场的未来发展持持续改进的态度，而非全面的大规模改造。在现有改善措施的基础上，我们将持续努力，这包括深化与餐饮服务提供商的合作关系、增设安全设施、升级VIP接待和零售服务，以及全面提升访客的整体体验。”
In 2018, Arsenal expanded their stadium by adding 780 new seats; however, the corporate suites and private boxes at酋长球场 continue to experience extended waitlists. The prospect of increasing seating capacity through excavation presents intricate challenges, including the complexities of pipeline installation. Furthermore, manager Mikel Arteta is reluctant to compromise the team's home-field advantage by relocating to temporary venues like Wembley, which could potentially disrupt the squad's positive momentum.
Over the past five seasons, Arsenal's matchday revenue has surged, doubling to an impressive 1.54 billion pounds. This upward trend is largely attributed to the team's return to the UEFA Champions League. The club has been striving to boost its income by expanding its corporate offerings, introducing an innovative "Player's Tunnel Suite" service this summer. The price for a single match's ticket in the English Premier League has soared to nearly 6,500 pounds, mimicking the strategies employed by Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.
于五月，阿森纳与伯恩利的对决中，其高端包间价格攀升至超过13万英镑。该场馆设有大约150个高端包间，其数量是托特纳姆热刺主场的高端包间数量的两倍之多。与此同时，热刺方面已敏锐察觉到，企业客户对具有社交互动性的贵宾休息区的偏好日益增强。
The Arsenal Fanshare Trust has confirmed that the club has assured them there will be no reduction in the number of seats on the general stands to accommodate additional executive boxes. The total seating capacity of酋长球场 shall remain unchanged, with the emphasis on enhancing the facilities behind the scenes, which is anticipated to result in an expansion of premium hospitality offerings. The trust has been re-assured by the club that there are no current plans to relocate or cut any seats on the general stands. However, all fans are urged to remain vigilant and to continually emphasize the significance of their role as guardians of the club.
