Newcastle United are close to announcing either a new stadium, or a rebuild of St James’ Park. Both options would cost multi-billions of pounds, possibly close to £5bn which the SOFI stadium in LA cost.

  1. I hope they can work something on SJP, with clever class stands. The only other option is to move out of town and that would take away something

  2. Title is misleading – the original article headline *Newcastle will sign ‘cheque of a generation’ to make stadium plans happen* is more accurate

    Nowhere have they said (yet) that they plan to build a new stadium and the article does not claim they will

  3. I thought the site that was the Utilita Arena would’ve been a great alternative and it did look big enough to fit a 65-70k stadium while still being close to the train station and city centre but apparently that’s going to be used for something else 

    I guess really it’s a case of figuring out the practicalities of how you upgrade SJP first
