The renovations at the Monumental Stadium were a fundamental pillar of the managements of Rodolfo D'Onofrio and Jorge Brito, but the legacy will be continued by Stefano Di Carlo. The president of River confirmed a few days ago that the home of the Millionaires will have a capacity for 101,000 spectators.

Bolavip reported that the construction of the fifth tier is coming to the Monumental Stadium, which will be above the current upper stands, will be ring-shaped, and will have a capacity for about 16,000 spectators, bringing the total capacity to 101,000 spectators.

This Tuesday, January 27, River Plate officially announced the expansion of the Monumental Stadium, but also revealed that the roofing will begin, a great wish of the fans. Through its website and official social media, River announced this period of works which will have an investment exceeding 100 million dollars.

What will the fifth tier of the Monumental Stadium be like?

In addition to the roof, the construction of a fifth tier will also begin. This work is expected to take between two and three years. A noteworthy detail is that the color of the seats will be white and red, forming a 360° flag with the club's colors.

The fifth tier will be above the current upper levels, which is why the lights will be removed. It will be ring-shaped and will not have divisions, as is the case with the other tiers. The capacity of this new section will be around 16,000 spectators, so the total capacity of the Monumental Stadium will exceed 101,000 spectators.
