This means more money. • The new stadiums can have features such as corporate hospitality boxes, bars, restaurants, gyms, shops and can be used as a concert arena. • Building a new stadium is a sign of ambition. Clubs with new stadiums have often gone on to gain promotion. Examples are Stoke City and Hull City.
