Villarreal have moved back into their revamped El Madrigal after development work completed on schedule.
The La Liga outfit has spent the previous 6 months modernising their stadium, including building a new corner stand which now fully encloses the ground.
Instead of increasing capacity, seats in other stands have been spaced out more to give fans more room - as a result, the capacity has remained static at 22,000.
Other improvements include 2 new large screens and the replacing of all seats inside the stadium, which are now all covered by a roof.
The first match at the revamped stadium saw Villarreal beat Valencia 2-1 on New Year's Eve. Ironically, the Yellow Submarine had been playing in the nearby city of Valencia at Levante's Cuidad de Valencia whilst the modifications took place.
