Emirates Stadium Stadium

The Emirates Stadium, or known less formally as “The Emirates” is located on an estate in Ashburton Grove in North London. The stadium houses the Arsenal Football Club and seats 60,361 fans, making it the third biggest football stadium in England and fourth largest throughout the entire United Kingdom. Events at the Emirates Stadium include many music concerts, football matches with international teams like the Brazil national football team, and in 2015 the Emirates Stadium is set to host the Rugby World Cup.

Before making its home in Ashburton Grove, Arsenal had wanted to expand its stadium for quite some time. In August 2002, upon finally relocating and beginning to work on the stadium, financial troubles caused Arsenal to halt the project until February 2004. After gaining sponsorship, the stadium was completed in July 2006 for around £390 million.
