Newcastle United 70,000-seater stadium concept images have emerged despite 28,000 protesting Leazes Park plan

Newcastle United has not yet made a decision regarding the future of St James' Park, despite previously promising supporters an outcome in early 2025. Supporters remain uninformed as August approaches.

The club is engaged in a long-standing debate across Tyneside about whether to renovate the existing iconic stadium or build a new, modern venue elsewhere. Arguments exist for both sides of the issue.

Recent developments include a petition by Save Newcastle Wildlife opposing the potential construction of a new stadium on Leazes Park. Newcastle City Council emphasized that no final decision has been reached.

Amidst widespread fan discussion on social media, stadium concept designer Damian Bosio presented three potential solutions via his YouTube channel, Bondibot. The first concept proposes expanding the Gallowgate End to match the height of the Milburn and Leazes stands, which would involve building over the road into Strawberry Place. This design includes removing the Gallowgate Stand roof and expanding across the road while maintaining traffic flow, and it would leave the East Stand, listed buildings, and Leazes Conservation area undisturbed.

The second concept suggests moving the pitch entirely to create more space in the Gallowgate and East Stand areas.

The third concept shows a design for a completely new stadium that would encroach into Leazes Park, a proposal likely to face opposition from local preservation groups.
