RC Celta de Vigo has initiated the ‘Celta360’ project, a plan to transform the Balaídos stadium into a multi-use leisure hub. The project aims to modernize the venue by adding gastronomic and social spaces, such as ‘La Aldeana’, ‘Taberna Celta’, and ‘Espacio Conxemar’. To fund the estimated costs exceeding 100 million euros, the club is exploring CVC funds, bank loans, and potential capital increases.

Following the initial announcement, the Vigo City Council reported modifications to the construction of the ‘Gol’ stand. Mayor Abel Caballero announced that the stand's capacity will increase from 6,418 to 7,139 seats. To support this expansion, the project will include a new concrete structure design, updated foundations, electrical installations, lighting, a new emergency staircase, updated evacuation routes, and elevator systems adjusted to include up to six stops. These adjustments have increased the specific budget for the stand by approximately 599,613 euros, bringing the total cost for those works to 25.42 million euros.

To avoid redundant investments, the council decided not to build the previously planned covered corridor in front of the Tribuna stand, as that area is slated for expansion ahead of the 2030 World Cup. While full completion is expected by early 2027, officials aim to partially open the lower section of the Gol stand in time for the Celta vs. Deportivo derby on January 3, which could bring the stadium capacity to approximately 26,000 spectators.
