Football Ground Map
The Premier league is the best football league in the world, full of world class players, top managers, and incredible stadiums. That's why it's the most-watched sports league in the world, and is broadcast in over 200 territories to a potential TV audience of over 4.5 billion people.
Football is the number one sport in England, and for many people, weekends revolve around going to watch their team play. Last season, the average Premier League match attendance was just over 40,000 fans. But which is the best stadium in the Premier League to watch football?
Tottenham Hotspur FC
Capacity 62,850
Founded - 2019
This hugely impressive stadium opened in April, 2019, and is designed to maximise the supporter experience and brings fans closer than ever to the on-field action. The raucous 17,500-seat, single-tier South Stand is a sight to behold on match day too. It is the largest in the UK and stands at more than 34 metres in height.
There are over 60 food and drink outlets to choose from, all inspired by London's brilliant street food scene, plus great views guaranteed from every seat. The ultra-modern stadium also boasts multi-use functionality, and has a unique, retractable grass surface that allows the stadium to host NFL games, plus music concerts, Rugby matches and Boxing events.
Manchester City FC
Capacity - 53,400
Founded – 2003
The Etihad stadium is the home of the Premier League Champions Manchester City FC, who are yet again among the favourites in the sport betting to claim title this season. The ground is impressive and one of the most modern and fan friendly stadiums around. There's excellent access to the stadium via public transport and lots of pre match entertainment on offer, providing a fun filled match day experience. Atmosphere on match day is impressive too, especially when local rival Manchester United are visiting for the derby.
Originally built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the stadium was transformed in 2003 into a 48,000 capacity stadium and has undergone even more expansion over the years. Over the next three years the club aim to develop the area into a best-in-class fan experience and year-round entertainment and leisure destination. This will increase the capacity to over 60,000, provide a wide variety of food and drink options, a new club shop, museum, and a 400-bed hotel.
Newcastle United FC
Capacity – 52,257
Founded – 1892
Newcastle United took over St. James' Park in 1892 after the merger of two of the city's biggest clubs. In 1899, the ground's saw its first big development which saw the capacity reach 30,000. However, in 1905, it was doubled to 60,000 due to the popularity of the team.
The most recent development was in 2000, which left the ground with a capacity of over 50,000, and giving it the familiar look it has today. A visit to St James' Park is not recommended because the stadium has the best views, facilities or public transport. It is recommended because match day in Newcastle means the whole city is buzzing.
A one city team, Newcastle fans fill the stadium every week, and roar on the Magpies with a passion and enthusiasm quite unlike any other football team in the world. If you're a football fan, then there's no doubt that one of the best stadiums in the Premier League is St Jame's Park.
Liverpool FC
Capacity – 61,276
Founded – 1884
Anfield was originally the home of Liverpool's great local rivals, Everton FC. However, in 1892, Liverpool FC finally moved into the ground that they have called home ever since. The ground is now widely regarded as one of the most recognisable stadiums in world football. It is famous for the Kop and its stirring anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone', which can be heard before every game.
The club recently finished expanding the Anfield Road stand, which has made the stadium one of the largest in the Premier League with a capacity of over 61,000. Anfield resonates with history and famous past victories that echo around the ground on match day. It is a unique experience that every football fan should sample at least once in their lives.
Next season will see the opening of Everton's new £500m state of the art stadium at Bramley Moore Dock on the banks of the river Mersey. This 52,000-seater venue is due to open during the 2024-25 season, replacing Everton's historic Goodison Park as the club's home. Meanwhile, as well as Manchester City, other clubs including Aston Villa, Luton Town, Fulham, and Crystal Palace, all have plans for new developments or new stadiums. That means that not only is the premier league the most competitive league on the pitch, but it's also the most competitive league off the pitch too.
All good things have to come to an end, and the same unfortunately has to be said for football stadiums too. This article looks at the grounds which are soon to host their last match, the stadiums whose days are numbered and where fans will be watching their football from next.
An in-depth look at the biggest football attendances ever recorded, from the 1950 World Cup to pre-season friendlies in the States and the Scottish ground with dozens of 100,000+ attendances
