Swansea City wants to build a huge fan park where fans can pour their own pints. The club is drawing up proposals for a new covered fan park outside the Swansea.com Stadium’s south stand on disused land between Brunel Way and a path for cyclists and pedestrians. Two options with a mezzanine level and walkable roof are being explored, according to a project brief – one providing space for just under 1,300 fans and the other with a capacity of just under 1,800. The fan park would have a large screen, central seating area, toilets and food and beverage units with self-pour beer taps on the mezzanine level. Swansea City chief executive Tom Gorringe said the club is looking into plans to renovate the area. The club hopes the fan park would boost spectator spending and help attract new supporters. The project brief said there was scope as part of a later phase to develop a second area for events, a football museum or a more premium food and beverage destination. The council’s planning department welcomed the fan park proposal in principle but questioned a couple of aspects and sought assurances regarding others. South Wales Police advised that the fan park would need to be protected to prevent vehicle access, and have CCTV coverage. The club finished 11th in the Championship with 64 points after a spirited second half of the 2025-26 season. Investments in the club by Croatia and Real Madrid legend Luka Modric and hip-hop star and businessman Snoop Dogg have put the club in a different league. The fan park proposal has been submitted to Swansea Council as part of a pre-application enquiry. The idea of a fan park has been raised at fans’ forums and other club events. The club believes the fan park would give fans somewhere to congregate pre-match, and also enable the club to do other things outside of matchdays.
