One question about SB - will they demolish it COMPLETELY and build a brand new one, or expand it by 20k seats, like Liverpool do with their Main Stand?

I'm sure I saw the same question not long ago.

The stadium will be razed to the ground and rebuilt from scratch.

Looks like a lot of stairs ! Its bad enough waliking to the top of the west upper as it is

 

I haven't been there but stands near the pitch at the Emirates seem to me too flat and to create atmosphere it is better when the stands are more steep like in Allianz Arena. So I am hoping to see a lot of stairs.

Football stadiums that were never built: Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona and other mothballed designs

The world of football stadia would be a far more picturesque set-up had these designs from shiny waterfront arenas to weird volcanic exteriors been realised

Chelsea

In 2012, Chelsea made an ambitious bid to buy Battersea Power Station and turn it into a new 60,000-seat arena to replace Stamford Bridge.

The plans were certainly very striking, but the Blues did not win the bid , meaning the plans were (power) cut.

Instead, a stylish redevelopment of Stamford Bridge which will take capacity up to 60,000 is planned.

On the other hand the view at the Emirates is fantastic even from seats in the corners near pitch level.

I don't know if the rake of the seats affects the atmosphere but you could be on to something when you say that it might.

Chelsea could groundshare with London rivals West Ham at the Olympic Stadium while their new stadium is built.

 

The Blues want to relocate to Wembley for three years and a £20m-a-year deal has reportedly been agreed.

But they have also held talks with the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) about a temporary move to the Olympic Stadium, which will become West Ham's home from next season.

Chelsea are also understood to be considering a switch to Twickenham.

Whoever signed that contract between West Ham and the Olympic Stadium should be investigated asap and jailed for a long time. 2.5m per year rent for a 500m stadium is an absolute insult to all Londoners.
