They eventually hope to expand the capacity of the ground from 20,000 to around 34,000 spectators, although a time scale is yet to be determined.
Now, with club officials looking to continue with some of the first steps, items from the Den are being auctioned off to fans.
Supporters can bid for several items from the stadium - including seats from both the home and away dugouts.
They can also buy signs from around the venue and even some trophies.
The 2015-16 Johnstone's Paint Trophy Team of the Round shield is available, with bidding currently at £65.
A Millwall-branded trophy is also available for the same price as things stand on sportbidder.
Fans also have access to signed and framed shirts and photos, all with different bids.
There is even the chance to bid for items from club lounges along with stadium maps and seating plans.
The auction is currently open and will close at 10am BST on July 8.
Discussing the process, Luke Wilson, Millwall's Chief Commercial Officer, said: "Each lot is steeped in the history and legend of the club, but it must be every fan's dream to own one of the dugout seats.

"Famous managers such as Neil Harris and Gary Rowett, plus popular players like Jed Wallace, Jake Cooper and Steve Morison sat on them as they watched the action on the pitch, either after coming off themselves or as they prepared to go on."
He continued: "The auction provides three specific solutions for the club and the fans.
"Firstly, it allows us to repurpose club property – much of it unique – in a creative way so that it is not wasted.
"Secondly, it provides a unique opportunity for fans to acquire genuine Millwall FC memorabilia direct from The Den that they would otherwise not be able to get their hands on.

Wrexham AFC legend Arfon reflects on last spell in tier two
Wrexham headed into the old Second Division on a high in 1978 after a title-winning campaign that also saw them lift the Welsh Cup and reach the quarter-finals of both the FA Cup and League Cup. 'They were great days,' said Griffiths, who became an icon at his home-town club where he made 721 appearances and scored 143 goals before going on to manage the Reds in their golden era. 'But the old second division was a big step up and I remember the first game at home. 'Brighton came to The Racecourse and had the ex-England international, Alan Mullery, in charge. 'They were very defensive and we never looked like scoring. 'We'd scored goals for fun in the two seasons before and it was important that we continued to play positively because Wrexham always had that identity of playing attractive football.' Griffiths' side were unbeaten in their first six but their first three home games - against Brighton, Leicester City and Newcastle United - all ended goal-less. They also enjoyed three early trips to the capital. The late John Lyons scored Wrexham's first goal in a 1-0 win at Fulham, Graham Whittle grabbed the only goal at Leyton Orient and Mickey Thomas netted in a 1-1 draw at Charlton Athletic. It was one of six goals in 16 games for Thomas so it came as no surprise Manchester United made the Welsh star Wrexham's £350,000 record signing. Griffiths said: 'There were a lot of clubs looking at Mickey and when he heard that Manchester United was one of them he came knocking on my door and said: 'I want to go'. 'I told him he couldn't until we got the best deal and we got £350,000 in the end.' After those two August away day wins, Wrexham didn't win again on their travels and their home form wasn't breathtaking either as they escaped relegation by just four points after finishing in 15th place. 'Teams did fear us because of the way we played but they wanted to shut up shop when they came to The Racecourse,' added Griffiths. The home crowds were also on a downward curve. There were 23,451 crammed in to watch captain Gareth Davies lift the Division Three trophy at home to Peterborough on May 1 1978. The opening day attendance at home to Brighton just 10 week later was 14,081 while 6,136 saw Wrexham sign off a disappointing season with a 1-0 home defeat to Bristol Rovers. It was a 16th place finish in the 1979/80 season where Wrexham again finished on 38 points, nine ahead of the relegation zone. Griffiths resigned at the end of the 1980/81 season and with his right man Mel Sutton now in charge, Wrexham were relegated the following season. 'I hope Wrexham can now stabilise in the Championship this time around,' said Griffiths, who described Steve Fox as one of his best signings during the tier two era. 'With the three promotions behind them, the players know what it takes to go up. 'The owners have done a great job, ploughing in a lot of money but it's vital that they get a new training ground.' The late great Joey Jones and now club president Dixie McNeil were just two of six players to chalk up a century-plus games in the famous red shirt in Division Two - Steve Fox (130), Dai Davies (114), Mel Sutton (106) and Gareth Davies (103) were the others. TOTAL APPEARANCES: Joey Jones 138; Dixie McNeil 136; Steve Fox 130; Dai Davies 114; Mel Sutton 106; Gareth Davies 103; Wayne Cegielski 99; Frank Carrodus 97; Mick Vinter 90; Alan Hill 88; Ian Edwards 73; Les Cartwright 70; Alan Dwyer 62; John Roberts 60; Eddie Niedzwiecki 54; Steve Dowman 44; David Giles 38; Bobby Shinton 37; Graham Whittle 36; Steve Buxton 36; Phil Bater 36; Billy Ronson 36; Ian Arkwright 30; John Lyons 28; Terry Darracott 22; Steve Kenworthy 18; Denis Leman 17; Mickey Thomas 16; Simon Hunt 15; Frank Jones 8; Peter Williams 4; Neil Salathiel 4; Micky Evans 3; Steve Jones 3.

Sky Sports presenter and WAG of Championship manager returns to work after cancer battle and a brain infection which left her in a coma
Sky Sports presenter Emma Saunders has returned to TV screens after a brutal health battle which saw her football manager boyfriend move back to the UK. Saunders, who regularly hosts Premier League coverage for the broadcasting giant, was first treated for thyroid cancer before being diagnosed with the serious brain infection encephalitis. She was placed in a coma to aid her recovery. However, she is now on the mend and was back on TV duties with Sky last weekend. Her partner, Southampton 's new head coach Will Still, admitted he could not bear to be away from Saunders any longer and made the decision to leave his job in France. After stepping down at Ligue 1 side Lens and returning home to be closer to his girlfriend, Still, 32, was approached by the Saints and signed a three-year contract. 'I needed to be closer to home and ultimately Emma is home,' Still said. The hope is that Saunders will become a fixture of Sky Sports' coverage for the upcoming campaign and thankfully, she has taken real strides. Providing a promising update, Still said, via The Sun: 'She's getting a lot better. There's still the odd thing here and there that isn't quite right. 'But she has gone back into work for the first time in a very long while so that's good. 'And just the fact I can go home to her after my training and games means she feels better about everything - and now has more control. She's getting there.' Still and Saunders went public with their relationship during Euro 2024, having chatted on social media and met at various events before falling for each other. He made regular trips on the Eurostar to spend time with Saunders in St Albans while continuing to coach in France, trusting his brothers to take the reins in his absence. 'I'm not going to pretend it wasn't tough but was lucky my brothers Ed and Nico were also working at Lens,' Still said, recalling Saunders' harrowing health struggles. 'They knew exactly what was going on. Ed had been a head coach so could just do it. 'And when Emma got the cancer news in September, he was like, "Will, just go away, you shouldn't be here." But I kept coming to the UK two days a week. 'If there was a day off on a Monday, I'd stay Tuesday and come back Wednesday to prepare for the game. But I won't miss the Eurostar - as good as that service is!'
