It's because you don't take structural engineering into account. I'm not going into the details of the different price plateaus when building a new stadium, but why do you think Real Madrid and Barcelona opted for a renovation of their old stadiums instead of building a new 80-100k seater? Why did two of the richest and best run European clubs like Arsenal and Bayern only build 60/66k seater stadium? The simple explanation is that the bigger the stadium, the more expensive the construction costs of every additional seat becomes.
Consequently the club would have to significantly increase ticket prices to be able to afford the construction of a 80-100k seater stadium. However the seats which are the most expensive to construct ironically make the least revenue, because you're further away from the pitch. It simply doesn't make sense from a business point of view to build a new stadium which has more than 60-70k seats.

Hate to disagree here but you are not making much of a sense with all due respect. Bayern's trying to tuckle in as many seats as they can as we have recently seen and the reason why Bayern didn't build a Maracaná back in 2005 was mainly because the 350 million loan (which you have provided the best info on how it was paid out) was already staggering enough at the time. If they had the chance recently to go for a 90k seater they would gladly close their eyes and sign whatever is put in front. Fact of the matter is Bayern staff have personally confirmed they get, still today, huge complaints as to their constant sold out seat events, lack of ticket availability and on top of this the Allianz y full of VIP boxes which get the most hatred from the fans.
Back to the Spanish argument the reason why Real Madrid and Barcelona will renovate instead of building new stadiums is quite simple. Both the Bernabau and the Camp Nou are located inside the city and on the second case that's one f*cking prime location if you ask me. The city would have had to invest more than they can afford to build new infrastructure to move the people to the stadium via mass transit. Cost/benefit did not make sense and as the German design firm proved on Madrid's case, they can re-build that shitty shopping mall next to their stadium into a mass traffic state of the art shopping center.
The Camp Nou on the other hand is surrounded by secondary annexes such as their museum and the other sports stadiums which will make the investment quite unaffordable on an arena which - by the way - is already at 100k seat capacity; give or take a few seats.
