Francisco Benitez, Benfica’s presidential candidate, admitted that the Estádio da Luz needs a deep renovation and said what he intends to do.
“There were no chairs in the old top. We know that fans don’t usually sit on the tops, so we could remove the chairs and watch the game while standing. What they usually do already. This would increase the space significantly. We have not counted the increase yet, but we are going to estimate how many seats we will have. Better is the interior of the stadium, where electronic panels have been digital since prehistoric times. Place the LEDs on the surrounding benches. Increase the comfort of chairs that were once red and are now pink. Build an infrastructure that makes it all the more profitable with LED screens to display ads and increase Benfica’s revenues, ”the leader explained in statements for Benfica Television.
Benitez is also betting on improvements in other areas: “The metro line is expanding nearby and we want to work with the metro to create a gallery that connects to the Benfica complex, which may have restaurants and members can use this gallery. It can also be used to inspect the Luz car park, which is not used during the week. You can get out of IC19, leave your car in the parking lot, go to the gallery and go to the metro. “
Changes to the venue: “Estádio da Luz is slightly enclave between two expressways and should be changed to give participants more comfort. We also want to change things that bring more recipes. The naming of stadiums should always take place at a general meeting of participants, and not per 100 people. Making a decision as difficult as changing the name of Estádio da Luz always requires broad agreement from the partners. ”
Improvements in other infrastructures: “We need to increase Seixal to have more teams. Hotels and universities don’t think so. Seixal will increase whenever it is justified for athletes to improve training conditions and win more. ”
