Old Trafford currently seats 67,500 spectators and every single League match that has been played since the last extension ago has been a sell-out.

about increasing Old Trafford's capacity to a huge 75,000 seats, extending
it by 7,500 seats- making it one of the biggest in the world.
The great Old Trafford currently has room for 67,500 spectators and every single Premiership match that has been played since the last extension 4-years ago at The Red Devil's fortress has been a sell-out. "Manchester United are considering plans to improve further and develop facilities at Old Trafford, including an additional 7,500 seats, increasing the capacity of Old Trafford to around 75,000," said a club statement. "A feasibility study is underway to evaluate the technical, financial and planning issues on completing the north-east and north-west quadrants of the stadium and consultation on those issues will now commence." "Any decision to proceed will be taken by the board in due course and announced thereafter." Recent developments have seen it become one of the best grounds in Europe, and with all four stands going round all the corners the ground is completely enclosed making it look that extra special, but if the extension goes through- many teams across the globe will be full of envy. |
