Chelsea F.C.’s New Stadium Is Estimated to Cost More Than Half a Billion USD

Hammersmith and Fulham council’s planning committee has approved Chelsea Football Club’s new stadium. Inspired by Gothic architecture and nearby Victorian-era design, the beauty which The Blues hope to one day call home is the brainchild of Herzog & de Meuron and is projected to finish in 2020 at the tune of £500 million GBP (~$610 million USD). Seating capacity for the new venue will max out at about 60,000 which is a 20,000 seat increase from the current Stamford Bridge Chelsea F.C. home. Although the committee has approved the design, work cannot begin until London Mayor Sadiq Khan approves it.
