New Stadium

I'm manager of Grasshopper-Club Zurich, and near the end of the 2009/10 season I asked to expand the stadium (I think it has about 25,000 capacity) and they rejected because there is not enough space.

I was wondering how you get the board to build a new stadium because that seems the only way we can get a bigger stadium at the moment.

You can't ask them to build a new stadium. The board will decide to build a new one if they can afford it, have the ambition, etc. It's quite random really.

Fill your stadium so your average attendance is high and have money on the bank. I guess this will boost your chances to get a new stadium. But like it was said above, it's random.

Also,

1. keep showing up at the board's room asking for a new one.

2. Show them a blueprint you made.

3. Leave a miniature of your dream stadium on their desk.

4. Organize a rally in front of the stadium demanding a new one.

5. Show up at their house showing a poll you made named "Do Grasshopper need a new stadium?"

6. Do you know any engineers or someone from a construction company? Go meet one and show them you project.

7. Call the chairman and tell him your arch-rivals are going to build a new one so they can mock him.

It worked for me!
