💨 Abstract

The World Snooker Championship will remain at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield until at least 2045, with a £45m investment for renovations. The venue will temporarily host the event elsewhere for one or two years during the upgrades. The deal, supported by local and central government funding, aims to increase the capacity and improve facilities. The tournament's economic impact on Sheffield is significant, with an annual boost of £4.5m
