The project to buy and expand the Parc des Princes has taken another step forward. A first steering committee meeting was held on Thursday between Paris City Hall and PSG representatives to discuss the future of the Parisian stadium.
The dream of an enlarged and modernized Parc des Princes is taking shape more and more. During the meeting, the capital club presented several simulations for the future works.
PSG studies a major stadium expansion
One of the main options being studied would significantly increase the stadium’s capacity, from the current 48,000 seats to 60,000, or even 70,000 spectators. According to L’Équipe, “the feasibility studies now focus on a capacity between 60,000 and 70,000 spectators, without anything having been definitively decided yet.” Until now, the most optimistic scenarios had only mentioned 60,000 seats. PSG general manager Victoriano Melero had already spoken of a dream figure in recent months: “In an ideal world, I would say 70,000 to 75,000 seats. I think that with that capacity, we could sell out every match.”
“The discussions made it possible to share the general context of the project and present the scope of the studies launched. This work will focus in particular on the stadium, its surroundings, mobility, the uses of the area and the development prospects for Porte de Saint-Cloud,” PSG wrote in a statement, while recalling that the process “is part of the continuation of the studies carried out by Paris Saint-Germain on the various sites currently being examined,” referring to Massy and Poissy.
No final decision has been made yet. Technical studies will now have to determine whether such an expansion is feasible, given the architectural and urban constraints around the Parc des Princes. According to Le Parisien, a 70,000-seat Parc des Princes has “very little chance of happening because of numerous technical constraints,” while an “expansion to 60,000 seats seems more realistic.” Despite these uncertainties, PSG’s position remains unchanged: the two-time European champion still wants to buy its stadium in order to carry out a major modernization and capacity-increase project, a file that is now moving forward with the City of Paris.
