Newcastle United’s ‘state of the art’ stadium plans according to AI will leave supporters speechless

Newcastle United are yet to formally announce a decision on St James’ Park’s future.

Newcastle United supporters remain patient as news on St James’ Park’s future stalls. Brad Miller, the club’s Chief Operating Officer, promised fans last year that an announcement would come in early 2025.

With April set to roll into May, no such confirmation has been made. A lot of work is ongoing behind the scenes, with the Toon hierarchy consulting local authorities, supporters groups before releasing the ultimate decision.

Many believe the groundwork is already being laid for Newcastle to announce a new stadium. Doing so would condemn St James’ Park and its 145-year association with Tyneside to the history book.

PSR regulations mean the Magpies must close the gap on the Premier League elite and stadium redevelopments are exempt from the three-year financial cycle. With fans on tenterhooks ahead of a meaningful update, NewcastleWorld asked AI-tool Grok to design a new ground that will catapult the club into the 21st century.

A monstrous concept image was accompanied by a lengthy description of St James’ Park’s potential successor. Grok responded: “While there are no official, finalised designs for Newcastle United’s new stadium, recent reports and conceptual ideas provide a glimpse into what it might look like.

“Based on available information, the club is seriously considering a move from St James’ Park to a new 65,000-capacity stadium at Leazes Park, a short distance away. This decision, driven by the Saudi-led ownership (PIF), aims to boost revenue and modernise facilities, with a focus on both football and multi-purpose entertainment.

“The proposed stadium, as depicted in a promotional video shared with senior staff and the fan advisory board, is envisioned as a state-of-the-art venue. It’s designed to be the second-largest club stadium in the Premier League, behind Manchester United’s Old Trafford.
