'American style' matchday experience, 20% hospitality and 15-year season tickets - details emerge about new Man Utd stadium

United have held small meetings with supporters to discuss potential plans for the club's proposed new 100,000-capacity stadium, which was announced in March. And a well respected United supporter has lifted the lid on some of the ideas mentioned.

According to Xuser Cheeses of Nazareth, who has spoken with people present at the meetings, proposals such as paying up front for 15-year season tickets and a 'premium season ticket model' were discussed. Plans to dedicate 20 percent of capacity to hospitality and an 'American style' matchday experience - such as 360-degree screen bars and many smaller merchandising outlets dotted around the stadium - were also floated.

The suggestions were criticised by responders, with one user, @Grav1968, calling it "the worst news I've heard" in 45 years of going to watch United. Another user, @JasonCamfield7, wrote: "Sad reality of what's coming."

United representatives said in the meetings that the club were still hoping that the new stadium, which is expected to cost £2bn ($2.6bn) would open by the 2031-32 season. Earlier this month the club said it was hoping that the new ground would host the final of the 2035 Women's World Cup, which is set to be held in the United Kingdom.
