Chelsea new stadium cost
Chelsea Football Club's new stadium, which is currently under construction, is expected to cost around £500 million (approximately $650 million USD). The stadium, which will have a seating capacity of around 60,000, is being built on a site adjacent to the club's current home, Stamford Bridge.
The project was announced in 2015, and construction began in 2017. The new stadium is expected to be completed in 2023, although the exact timeline is subject to change.
The £500 million cost of the stadium includes the construction of the new stadium itself, as well as the redevelopment of the surrounding area, including the creation of a new public square and the renovation of the nearby Fulham Road.
Here is a breakdown of the estimated costs of the new Chelsea stadium:
- Construction of the stadium: £350 million
- Redevelopment of the surrounding area: £50 million
- Renovation of the nearby Fulham Road: £20 million
- Other costs (including design, planning, and contingency): £80 million
It's worth noting that these costs are subject to change, and the final cost of the stadium may be higher or lower than the estimated £500 million.
