Stunning AI images show what Wrexham's new stadium could look like amid Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's bold revamp plans.

Wrexham will be playing in League One next season following back-to-back promotions.

And owners Reynolds and McElhenney plan to develop the Racecourse Ground into a stadium with up to 55,000 seats.

The ground currently holds around 12,600 supporters, with AI images showing what it could look like if the club's Hollywood owners get their wish.

On their ambitious idea to redevelop the Racecourse Ground, McElhenney said: "We have a plan in place right now that would work from stand to stand so eventually you get all four sides."

Reynolds added: "It’s hard to say for sure, but we think we could get between 45,000 and 55,000 people in there. The whole town could come to a game."

McElhenney also expressed his frustration at UK building regulations as he revealed his Premier League dream.

"Of course safety concerns and all those regulations are in place for a reason, but then some things just seem hurdles for hurdles’ sake,” he explained.

"It’s a lot harder to build in the UK than I have found almost anywhere else in the world.

"Getting to the Premier League is the ultimate goal - and staying in the Premier League so it’s sustainable. But only doing it in a fashion that the community supports because there are all sorts of ways to succeed.

"We feel that there are only a few paths to be ethically viable to do so."

If Wrexham follow through with plans to increase their capacity to 55,000, then it would be the 11th highest in the UK.

A redeveloped Racecourse Ground would have a greater capacity than the likes of Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge and Aston Villa's Villa Park.

And it would only be behind the likes of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Old Trafford, Wembley Stadium, London Stadium, Anfield, Wembley Stadium and the Emirates.
