New images show that work is in progress on Sunderland’s summertime makeover of the Stadium of Light surface. A big redevelopment plan for the Stadium of Light this summer was unveiled by Sunderland in March. Kyril Louis-Dreyfus stated that the upgrades would provide ‘lasting benefits’ to the club’s supporters.
In addition to rebuilding the playing surface and installing a new undersoil heating system, Sunderland will invest in new floodlights and a PA system. The team also said that he will be interacting with the Supporter Collective to find any more maintenance concerns that need to be resolved in advance of the upcoming campaign.
Tens of thousands of fans turned out to see the iconic rocker Bruce Springsteen perform a remarkable gig on Wearside earlier this month at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light. But after the gig, Sunderland’s pitch has started to be relayed.
In preparation for the upcoming campaign, other modifications—such as the introduction of 3,000 safe-standing spots—are anticipated. One thousand of those will be in the North Stand Upper and the remaining 2,000 will be accessible for home fans on the Roker End. When the news was made in March, Louis-Dreyfus stated, “Today, we’re delighted to announce that we are continuing a significant period of investment to develop the Stadium of Light, with the next phase set to complete before the start of the new season.”
These improvements represent a significant change in how we approach the matchday experience, and each one will benefit our devoted fans in the long run. We are thrilled to experience the enhancements we are making alongside our supporters when we return to the Stadium of Light for the upcoming season. These additions will enrich matchday both now and in the future.
According to Sunderland, it’s the largest investment made in the Stadium of Light in more than 20 years. The stadium can accommodate about 49,000 people and first opened its doors in 1997. The ninth-largest football stadium in England is called the Stadium of Light. Bob Murray, the stadium’s former chairman, gave the site its name to honor the region’s coal mining history as well as the Monkwearmouth Colliery site.
