Stadium building: what makes a winning project?

There are plenty of stadium projects in the pipeline, including Newcastle United’s proposed Leazes Park Stadium, Manchester United’s New Trafford Stadium, plus new venues at Oxford, Luton and Peterborough. There are major expansions and redevelopments planned and underway too, such as the addition of 20,000 seats at Leeds United’s Elland Road and an upgrade to the North Stand of Aston Villa’s Villa Park to boost capacity by 50,000.
