AI creates what each Premier League stadium will look like in 100 years and the results are incredible

AI has created what each of the 20 current Premier League stadiums could look like in 100 years' time - and the results are amazing.

Football stadiums are constantly developing, being renovated or changed to meet new demands, with some grounds almost unrecognisable after recent upgrades.

The oldest football stadium currently in use today is believed by some to be Wrexham's Racecourse Ground, which was opened in 1807 and will welcome League Two football next season after the club earned promotion from the National League.

The stadium has, of course, changed since it hosted Wales' first international friendly in 1877, with several new stands built and the introduction of seating.

Other historians claim the oldest active stadium is Preston North End's Deepdale, which has seen similar upgrades and was home to the National Football Museum between 2001 and 2010.

But, like the Racecourse Ground, the stadium hasn't seen considerable structural change since it first hosted Football League fixtures in 1888.

In the Premier League, several grounds have undergone significant changes in recent years, including Tottenham's White Hart Lane and Manchester City's Etihad Stadium.

But the potential for growth at those clubs, and others, remains - and via AI generator Midjourney, we've created an idea of what each club's grounds could theoretically look like in a century (all images via Midjourney).

AI designs new-look Premier League stadiums

First up is Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United. In the current day, there is an acknowledgement that the stadium needs renovating, and the club's owners, the Glazer family, reportedly want United to stay at Old Trafford rather than build a new ground.

In 100 years from now, AI predicts Old Trafford to have a much more modern feel, reflecting a bowl-style shape. The actual structure of the ground, though, looks relatively similar to today - a fact supporters will be all too familiar with.

Next up is Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, which does bear some resemblance to the new Wembley, in that it features an arch encompassing the top of the ground.

In a separate image, part of the roof is covered, while the venue sits close to the River Thames.

Then there's Liverpool's Anfield, which almost looks like something out of a movie - and another bowl-shaped stadium.

Talking of movies, meanwhile, Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium looks like a final battle arena.

It's back to London and Chelsea's Stamford Bridge which, barring the continuation of the bowl theme and a clear capacity increase, does not look too dissimilar to the current stadium.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, meanwhile, is another to feature the bowl look as well as some sleek designs on the outer lining of the ground.

Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park, meanwhile, has the most unique look of the stadiums so far, with a more open design. It is also adorned in the club's main colours of red and blue.

Then there's the London Stadium, which is currently still owned by the Greater London Authority and is played in by West Ham.

AI predicts the stadium will not change considerably over the next 100 years, although will have a sleeker design on the top of the venue and several roof arches.

Fulham's Craven Cottage, meanwhile, is known for retaining several of its historical aspects, and AI predicts that little will change over the next 100 years.

AI has come up with several different options for Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium, meanwhile, with another bowl shape and even a stadium colour change to blue both on the cards.

Next up it's a trip to Brighton's American Express Stadium, which AI predicts to have its capacity significantly changed and have what appears to be a modern complex built around it.

Molineux, meanwhile, switches to another bowl shape and sees a drastic change to its interior, with some stands featuring three tiers.

The first image of Villa Park looks more like the inside of a building than a football stadium, with the word 'Walbake' inscribed on it (which apparently originated from Nottinghamshire).

The other photos, however, sees the club's Holte End stand retained in some form, while the rest of Aston Villa's ground appears to have undergone a modern renovation.

Nottingham Forest's City Ground is another to undergo a not-so-drastic change - although the pitch's proportions in the top left image don't quite fit the stands.

Supporters of Sheffield United, meanwhile, are treated to three-tier stands, perhaps the biggest flat-screen TV in football history and even the featuring of four nets on one image of Bramall Lane.

Although Everton are scheduled to move out of Goodison Park at the end of next season, AI has predicted their new stadium would take up more of a classical feel compared to other futuristic venues.

Burnley's Turf Moor stadium, meanwhile, has undergone significant work, according to AI.

AI hasn't quite settled on the roof that will adorn Newcastle's St James' Park, meanwhile, but it is another that will undergo a modern renovation.

Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, meanwhile, bears some resemblance to the 'super stadium' featured in the Champions League intro for many years.

We'll finish on the Premier League's newest club, Luton, whose Kenilworth Road ground is also predicted to see little change, barring its capacity, over the next 100 years (although does appear to have implemented giant nets).

The critical question we can't answer, however, is whether the entrance to the ground through a resident's back garden still remains.
