The Athletic Club have a project to enlarge San Mamés, although it is not yet defined. According to Mundo Deportivo, the club will invest 9 million euros in the work and aims to add around 1,650 seats, well below the 2,400 of the first design. Jon Uriarte explained that for now the focus is on securing all the necessary permits before presenting anything in detail.
Jon Berasategi, the managing director, admitted they do not yet know which actions will deliver how many seats, since the job means finding space in every corner of the stadium. He promised full details before the end of the year. Another 2.1 million euros will go to Lezama.
Of those 1,650 seats only 124 will be VIP, and the club wants most of them to go to members, with around 11,000 people on the waiting list to join.
