<p>Over the past few years, Arsenal have already introduced some renovations, including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-emirates-stadium-expansion-gunners-major-renovations-man-utd-old-trafford-replacement/blt23b88daf583d89f4" target="_blank">new exterior artwork</a> around the stadium. However, co-chairman Josh Kroenke previously acknowledged in an interview with <em>ESPN</em> that internal discussions about a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-emirates-stadium-expansion-blow-problems-gunners-expand-ground-to-80-000-seats/bltd47e33c52a22e430" target="_blank">more significant transformation</a> have been ongoing. These conversations remain in the early stages, with the club assessing the feasibility of further developments.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-fc-emirates-stadium-revamp-real-madrid-bernabeu-b1218913.html" target="_blank"><em>The Standard</em></a><em>, </em>the Gunners have closely observed Real Madrid’s multi-year renovation of the Bernabeu and are keeping it as a reference project. Madrid first announced the ambitious stadium overhaul in 2019, and the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/santiago-bernabeu-real-madrid-rename-stadium/blt44c14259f88e2f81" target="_blank">state-of-the-art revamp</a> was officially completed last year, bringing the Bernabeu into the modern era with cutting-edge technology and infrastructure. The new Bernabeu boasts a retractable roof, 360-degree screens, and improved fan amenities, which has led the Arsenal leadership to see <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/why-is-real-madrid-stadium-called-santiago-bernabeu/blt0f7e77758588327a" target="_blank">Madrid’s success as a valuable case study for their plans.</a></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Arsenal have already undertaken various upgrades within the stadium. The club has brought in Populous, the architectural firm that originally designed the Emirates, to enhance catering options and upgrade kitchen facilities in the stadium. The club's venue director, Tom McCann, previously shared plans during a fan forum meeting regarding the introduction of better beer supply systems, which have been successfully implemented. Additionally, Arsenal are working on technological improvements, including upgraded mobile connectivity, with plans for full 5G network coverage at the Emirates currently underway and could be operational by the start of next season.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Arsenal club officials were in Madrid for an event, which gave them a unique opportunity to visit the Bernabeu and learn more about the redevelopment project. Coincidentally, Arsenal will return to the Bernabeu next month, as they prepare to face Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final. </p>
