Take a virtual tour of Chelsea's planned 60,000-seater stadium at Stamford Bridge

Work at Stamford Bridge is expected to take three years to complete with the Blues looking to potentially play home games at Wembley

Chelsea's new £500million stadium can now be seen in a whole new different way.
Roman Abramovich is in advanced stages of talks to develop Stamford Bridge into a 60,000-seater arena and has tasked Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron to transform the ground.
Inspired by the design of Westminster Abbey, the new-look ground will feature a three-tiered stack of terraces around all four sides of the ground, report Get West London.
Computer scientist, Neil Vano, has created an unofficial 3D render of the proposed stadium to give Blues fans a glimpse into what the future holds.
Offering an aerial view of the structure, Vano’s video tour of the ground swoops down to pitch level and provides views of the interior and seating.

An elevated brick bridge will connect the stadium to nearby Fulham Road and the whole design is wrapped in concrete and brick columns that evoke thoughts of Beijing’s Bird’s Nest stadium.
The planning process is expected to last beyond the end of the season, and is expected to be just one of a number of steps towards full consent for the stadium development to go ahead.
Comprising 210 separate documents, Chelsea's planning application for the Bridge is one of the largest ever considered by Hammersmith and Fulham Council.

It includes a new club shop, museum, and separate restaurant or cafe.
If approved, there will be new decking over both the District Line and Southern Railway adjacent to the existing ground, to expand the footprint of land available.
Building work is anticipated to take around three years to complete and Chelsea are in negotiations with Wembley Stadium about using the home of football during this period.
