For several years, an showdown has been committed between Paris Saint-Germain and the Paris town hall around the property of the Parc des Princes. The club, eager to become the owner of its premises to be able to carry out major work there, has come up against an end of inadmissibility on the part of Anne Hidalgo, mayor of the capital, who categorically refuses to sell the emblematic stadium. This impasse has deeply annoyed the management of PSG, which believes that without total control of its infrastructure, the club can neither optimize his revenues, nor respond to its international ambitions, in particular in terms of hospitality, premium ticketing and organization of major events.
Faced with this institutional blockage, PSG began to seriously consider other options. Several cities of Île-de-France quickly expressed their interest to welcome the new stadium of the capital's club. Poissy, Massy, and other municipalities on the Paris outskirts have offered available land and a framework for the development of a large -scale project. The club therefore launched in 2025 a feasibility study of a year, in order to analyze the advantages and constraints of each of these sites. The objective is clear: to build a modern, sustainable stadium, and worthy of the largest European clubs, without being hampered by Parisian administrative heaviness. And the inspiration will be American, reports the press agency Reuters.
An American stadium at $ 5 billion
Paris Saint -Germain, with an excessive ambition, is preparing to cross a new course by launching a large study – of a duration of one year – in order to choose a site (Massy or Poissy) for the construction of a brand new stadium surpassing the Parc des Princes, whose capacity of 48,000 places is now deemed insufficient. The objective is to be inspired by American models such as the Sofi Stadium of Los Angeles: a multifunctional place, merging sport, concerts and shows, to generate a massive diversification of income. The club aims a stadium at the cutting edge of technologies – giant screens, retractable roof, VIP spaces, high speed digital network – according to the example already posed by the NFL franchise in Stan Kroenke, with its colossal investment of $ 5 billion. “”The next challenge is a new stadium. For a year, we will analyze and make a choice for our future, and we inspire what is happening in the United States in terms of sports infrastructure. The Sofi Stadium is an incredible place, much more than a simple sports installation: it is a real place of entertainment and spectacle. This is what we really want to bet to diversify our income», Insisted Victoriano Melero, Managing Director of PSG.
The Sofi Stadium, inaugurated in September 2020, is an architectural and technological prodigy: 70,000 places, extensible up to 100,000 for mega-events, a semi-transparent roof, “infinity screen” screen in 4K suspended above the field, and “indoor-outdoor” design integrated in a large complex of 298 acres (120 hectares) Concerts, commercial areas and public spaces. This model of sports campus and leisure – combining innovation, spectacular design, environmental citizenship (water management, landscape landscape, sustainability) – polarizes the ambitions of PSG and nourishes its projects with an emblematic place, capable of welcoming the major European finals as well as concerts of global stars. The Sofi Stadium, a true technological feat inaugurated in 2020, welcomes the RAMS and the NFL chargeers and welcomed concerts by artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. He will play a key role during the World Cup next summer and the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028.
