In order to keep up with the times in English football, Stoke City will be expanding their stadium- now dubbed the Bet365 Stadium- in order to accommodate more fans, according to Sky Sports. The work will begin next week and it will give them 1,800 new seats.
This may not look much, but it really is. Many fans just don’t understand how important stadium expansion can be.
Expanding the stadium of a club will cost money in the short term, but it only leads to success down the line as you make that money back very quickly.
A club like Stoke is now a well-established side in this league, and they are going to expect more and more with each passing season now. 1,800 new seats is just the start if they can continue to improve. These new seats will also only add to the already insane atmosphere of this park!
