River to invest $100m+ to expand and roof the Monumental | OneFootball

The renovations at the Estadio Monumental were a fundamental pillar of the administrations 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 Millonario will have a capacity for 101,000 spectators.

Bolavip reported that the construction of the fifth tier at the Estadio Monumental is coming, 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 Estadio Monumental, but also revealed that the roofing will begin—a long-held wish of the fans. Through its website and official social media, River announced this period of construction, which will require an investment of over 100 million dollars.

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

In addition to the roof, construction of a fifth tier will also begin. This project is expected to take between two and three years. An important detail is that the seats will be white and red, forming a 360° flag in the club’s colors.

The fifth tier will be above the current upper stands, so the lights will be removed. It will be ring-shaped and will not have divisions, unlike the other tiers. The capacity of this new section will be around 16,000 spectators, so the total capacity of the Estadio Monumental will exceed 101,000 spectators.
