Newcastle`s recent Carabao Cup victory has given new impetus to their ambitions for a significantly larger stadium.
The club`s Saudi Arabian ownership group is keen on developing a 70,000-seat stadium in close proximity to their current home, St James` Park.
An estimated 300,000 supporters filled the streets of Newcastle to celebrate their team`s win against Liverpool at Wembley.
This massive turnout has reignited discussions about relocating from St. James` Park, with potential project costs reaching up to £3 billion.
One of the primary options under consideration is a 65,000-capacity stadium at nearby Leazes Park, complete with a fan zone reminiscent of Wembley Way.
However, reports suggest that club executives would prefer an even larger venue to accommodate their growing fanbase.
It is understood that Newcastle United conducted internal presentations regarding stadium development last month.
The club is evaluating various alternatives, indicating that the final plans are still flexible and subject to change.
Newcastle`s Carabao Cup victory marked their first major domestic trophy since 1955, ending a long wait for silverware.
Adding to their success, Newcastle is currently performing strongly in the Premier League, holding fifth place and closely chasing Champions League qualification.
This Premier League position enhances the rationale for developing a state-of-the-art new stadium.
St. James` Park, with its 52,000 capacity, has been Newcastle`s home since 1892.
However, the club`s ambitious leadership is determined to build a larger stadium to match their aspirations.
Sources indicate that the final design for the stadium upgrade is still pending, as numerous factors and options are being carefully considered.
Redeveloping the existing St. James` Park remains a possible option among the alternatives.
