Manuel Pellegrini believes an upturn in the atmosphere at London Stadium is down to West Ham fans realising their club need a state-of-the-art ground.
West Ham's 2016 move from Upton Park to London Stadium has come under scrutiny in the past, but those issues seem to have been resolved this term.
And while Pellegrini acknowledged the team's performances on the pitch – West Ham are unbeaten at home in 2019 and are hunting a fourth successive win at London Stadium – have helped, the former Manchester City manager suggested that the Hammers' faithful have now realised they are at a ground befitting of the club's ambition.
