Argentinian side River Plate have announced plans to increase the capacity of El Monumental by 15,000.
This would take the overall capacity to 101,000 making it the 2nd largest football specific stadium in the world, after Barcelona's Camp Nou.
The move comes shortly after the stadium was last expanded through the addition of a new roof, lowering the pitch and removal of the running track.
This next change will see around 15,000 extra seats added to the stadium's top tier, increasing general admission to 40,000 per match.
Work is expected to start in early April and take 3 years to complete at a cost of around $100m.

South American footballing giants River Plate have returned home to their El Monumental stadium, following the completion of renovation work.
The stadium now features what the club are calling the "best playing field in South America" after a new hybrid pitch was installed.
The club have also committed to bringing fans closer to the action with the removal of the running track around the pitch. Other improvements include the removal of fencing and a new players' tunnel. In total, the club has invested around £1.6m in the ground improvements.
Either the first stage completed, the club will now move onto increasing the stadium's capacity from 74,000 to 80,000.
