British media: Arsenal will not broadcast game footage on TV in the home lobby to allow fans to return to the stands as soon as possible

In the Champions League match between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, Arsenal did not broadcast the game on the TV in the stadium lobby. This was to allow fans to return to their seats in the stands as soon as possible.

In the third round of the Champions League, Arsenal defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home. Arsenal scored 4 goals in just 13 minutes in the second half. In order to further improve the atmosphere of the home fans, Arsenal Club also decided not to broadcast the game live on the TV screen in the stadium lobby.

During the halftime of the game, Arsenal fans used to go to the stadium hall to have a drink and relax. Arsenal's home stadium will broadcast the game footage on the TV screen in the stadium lobby after the start of the second half, so that fans can continue to enjoy their drinks and then return to their seats in the stands without missing the game.

During the halftime break of this game, a reminder message was displayed on the TV in the lobby of Arsenal's home stadium: "We will not broadcast the second half of tonight's game live on TV. Every fan must play his or her role. Please return to your seat as soon as possible to help the team create an unforgettable atmosphere."

Although the impact of this measure is not great, it shows that the Arsenal Club already knows the importance of improving the atmosphere of the stadium and has begun to take action. The Arsenal club realized that continuing to broadcast the game live on the TV in the stadium lobby after halftime would only send a wrong message to the fans, making the fans think that creating a home atmosphere has nothing to do with them, so they can stay in the stadium lobby to watch the game instead of returning to the stadium stands to cheer for the team.

It is worth mentioning that in last season’s Champions League semi-finals, when Arsenal faced Paris Saint-Germain at home, the Arsenal home stand only displayed a very simple large portrait of a cannon, without any other more attractive TIFO. Not only did that not help Arsenal improve their home court deterrence, but it also became a laughing stock. Arsenal will be hoping to avoid a similar situation happening again and make the atmosphere at home even more frenetic.
