Managers who decide to take on certain clubs in lower leagues are at a disadvantage if they achieve success on the pitch and climb up through the divisions. This is purely because their stadium size will restrict them off the pitch and they can not compete financially with clubs with bigger stadiums. A solution to this problem is to allow a club to raise the capacity of their stadium, then in essence you are allowing them to compete off the pitch with their more illustrious neighbours.

You can understand the need for 'Stadium Building' as there is nothing more frustrating then getting a team with a small stadium from Division 4 all the way to Division 1 and then struggle financially. This is why those of you who mange certain clubs in the lower divisions (along with clubs certain clubs in the Gold Championships) will benefit from ‘Stadium Building’ as it should help you financially.

Your Chairman will make a decision at the end of the season whether to increase the ground capacity of the stadium and this will be based on a number of factors including current capacity and division. You can not access a feature called stadium building or request to increase your stadium capacity as the decision is solely down to your Chairman. This is because the Chairman will look after the best interests of the club and leave you to get on with managing the day to day aspects of the club. It will also mean that clubs will not end up with unrealistic stadiums within their Game World.

At the start of the new season if the Chairman decides to increase your capacity then you will receive a message within your Club Messages stating the new increase in capacity (which takes immediate effect). Your Chairman will pay for this increase in capacity and it will not effect your clubs balance.

Your club is not just limited to one increase and your Chairman can increase it again (and again if needed) based on the factors already mentioned. However, your Chairman will not increase your current capacity if they believe that the stadium is already at an adequate size to compete successfully within your current division.

Due to this clubs can have a different stadium capacities across different Game Worlds depending on how long the Game World has been running, their original stadium capacity and current division.
