Revamped Bombonera: Boca gain 3,000 new seats | OneFootball

Through a visibility study, the club will reshape the popular lower stands to gain 1,500 seats in each end. It is also moving ahead with the return of the upper north stand to terrace seating and the arrival of a well-known restaurant chain.

In the Boca world, the stadium issue is a matter of State. While the mega expansion to 85,000 people awaits transport and legal approval, Juan Román Riquelme and his board decided not to sit idly by. The news is that, thanks to a technical sightline study (basically, how the field looks from every corner), it was determined that the current capacity can be stretched by 3,000 more fans.

How are they going to do it? The key lies in the lower terraces. Right now they have a curvature that “eats up” space; the idea is to straighten those slopes so they reach closer to the goals. With this move, 1,500 extra spots will be opened up both in the end stand of La 12 and in the one opposite it. Pure engineering to make the concrete yield more.

But the updates do not end there. The full renovation plan is moving ahead steadily:

In addition, the new food court is already taking shape in Section L, with eleven different outlets so members can enjoy better services. Boca knows ticket demand is insane and, while dreaming of a giant stadium, it is squeezing every last meter out of the current structure so that the blue-and-gold version of the “Elephants’ Graveyard” keeps getting bigger.
