《泰晤士报》英国媒体报道，阿森纳足球俱乐部已决定推迟其主场容纳能力增至8万人的扩建工程，这一决策源于主教练阿尔特塔的考虑，他不愿干扰球队的当前竞技状态。
经过深思熟虑，阿森纳决定放弃对酋长球场进行规模扩大的计划，容纳人数上限维持在8万人。阿尔特塔教练坚持不改变球队主场，以维护球队当前的良好竞技状态，这一决策与热刺在搬离白鹿巷球场后所遭遇的困境形成鲜明对比。
经过超过两年的深入调研，俱乐部精心制定了球场升级的长期计划。该球场自2006年起投入使用，如今拥有60704个座位。鉴于大规模的改造项目可能会迫使球队在短期内更换主场，阿森纳足球俱乐部最终选择了逐步升级的方式，以避免对比赛造成中断。
在一场与球迷的交流活动中，阿森纳官方透露了他们对球场进行细致调整的计划。在一份官方声明中，俱乐部强调了对酋长球场不断发展的承诺，而非进行全面的重大改造。他们计划在已有的改善措施之上，进一步发展，这包括深化与餐饮服务提供商的合作关系、增设安全舒适的观赛座位、增强贵宾区的接待和零售服务，以及全面提升访客的整体体验。
In 2018, Arsenal expanded the stadium capacity by adding 780 seats; however, there remains a substantial waitlist for the executive boxes and private suites at酋长球场. The prospect of further increasing the seating by excavation presents intricate challenges, including the complex engineering of pipe installation. Moreover, manager Mikel Arteta is reluctant to compromise the team's home-field advantage by potentially moving to temporary venues like Wembley, which could undermine the squad's morale and performance.
Over the past five seasons, Arsenal's matchday revenue has doubled, reaching approximately 154 million pounds, a development largely attributed to the team's return to the UEFA Champions League. The club has consistently strived to boost earnings through a diverse range of corporate offerings. This summer, they introduced a new "Player's Tunnel Suite" service, with ticket prices for a single Premier League match soaring to nearly 6500 pounds, mirroring the tactics employed by Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.
阿森纳在五月份与伯恩利的对决中，其奢华包间票价飙升至13万英镑以上。该体育场设有大约150个奢华包间，这一数字是托特纳姆热刺主场豪华包间数量的两倍之多。与此同时，热刺方面已经敏锐地察觉到，企业客户们对于更加社交化的VIP休息室表现出了越来越大的兴趣。
The Arsenal Fanshare Trust has confirmed that the club has assured them that the number of corporate boxes will not be increased at the expense of reducing seats on the general stands. The total seating capacity of酋长球场 will remain unchanged, with the emphasis on enhancing the facilities behind the scenes, which is anticipated to include an expansion of premium hospitality offerings. The trust has been re-assured by the club that there are no current plans to relocate or reduce the seating on any general stands. However, all fans are urged to remain vigilant and to continually emphasize the significance of their role as guardians of the club.
