Emirates Stadium

Built on the site of a former waste facility, the Emirates replaced Highbury in 2006 and paid for itself through 60,000 seats and a decade of property development.

Emirates Stadium has been the home of Arsenal since 2006, and holds 60,704 spectators for football. The playing surface is hybrid grass, and the record attendance of 60,214 was set in a fixture that still gets talked about in London.

For a matchday, the ground sits in London and is served by local rail and bus routes; arriving 45 minutes before kick-off is the difference between a queue and a seat. Away supporters are usually housed in one corner block, and the atmosphere is loudest behind the goal at the home end.
