Newcastle surveys fans about future of St James’ Park

December 7, 2023 Trending News

Newcastle is asking their loyal fanbase for input regarding St James’ Park. The club has seen a drastic surge in ticketing demand in recent months. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) officially completed a majority takeover of the Magpies in the fall of 2021. Since then, the club has risen in the Premier League standings with help from the new investors. In fact, the owners have racked up a net spend of over $440 million since the 2021/22 season.

The influx in demand for matchday tickets has made the team’s owners want to capitalize on the situation. It was revealed in November that Newcastle began planning ways to expand St James’ Park to 65,000 seats. The historic arena currently has a capacity of just over 52,000. If completed, the Magpies would have the second-biggest stadium in the league only behind Old Trafford.

Magpies also mulling a move to a new arena

Nevertheless, Newcastle is officially asking for fan opinions before potentially making a decision. One possible new idea is for the club to build an entirely new stadium. Potentially choosing between renovating St James’ Park and erecting a new arena is one of the questions the club is asking its supporters.

“The survey will ask a number of hypothetical questions which are not indicative of any specific development aims at this stage, but are designed to ensure comprehensive feedback is captured from a range of supporters,” Newcastle said in a statement on Monday.

“The club thanks supporters in advance for taking the time to complete this survey and providing input into any recommendations that may be made.”

Addressing whether or not to move stadiums is, however, not the only main question being asked. The club is also asking supporters about adding new amenities to St James’ Park as well. This includes additional sky boxes, lounge areas, and tunnel view seats.

Stay or go? That’s the question for Newcastle
