Santos plan to expand Vila Belmiro, fund it with tickets 🏗️ | OneFootball

Santos is preparing to modernize its historic home. The club’s board has drawn up a plan with the main goal of increasing the stadium’s crowd capacity.

The work will be carried out in the Cosmo Damião stand, where Peixe’s organized supporter groups are located.

According to GE, the area currently has a capacity of 3,166 seats. There is no estimate yet of how many seats the stand will have once the renovation is completed.

This project has a low cost. The strategy was designed precisely to avoid major impacts on the club’s finances, focusing on targeted improvements.

The board’s expectation is that the investment will be recouped in the short term. This financial optimism is justified by the scenario of decisive matches, when ticket demand usually exceeds the number currently available at Alçapão.

Cash flow, therefore, will be boosted through increased revenue from the larger crowd capacity. With more tickets on sale and strong box office demand, the club expects to quickly pay off the costs and then start profiting from the expansion.
