It's not impossible but it's challenging.

Hillsborough hasn't changed in 25 years...Ellend Road is also a tip as is Old Trafford.

But then we're talking a brand new stadium. Basically, yeah. We're hamstrung by the current location, can't do much besides frippery with three sides as it is, the only room for real capacity increase is a big stand where the North sits now, and I get the sense there'd not be much love for something that might outshine The Holte. Leaving the Trinity and Holte where they are and doing what we can to replace the North (without overshadowing the Holte) and improve the DE you're looking at 50-55k, shift the pitch a little and you could possible add another 5k to that but the cost would be insane, we'd need a temporary ground for a year or 2 and nothing that is there would survive.

I don't know much about the history of Porto's Estádio do Dragão, but from looking at a few photos, it looks like it has transitioned from four separate stands to having 'filled in the corners' in a best-of-both-worlds way.

It hasn’t been redeveloped. I saw a game at their previous ground - the pitch had been lowered to extend the lowest tier over the running track.
