The Emirates Stadium is the home of the Arsenal Football Club and is located in Holloway, London, England. The entire stadium project, which cost £390 million, was completed in 2006. The Emirates Stadium also serves as a venue for events and sporting events. It hosted a summit between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown partly due to the stadium’s reputation as “a brilliant example of Anglo-French cooperation.” The stadium has served as the venue of reality shows such as The X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent, and Big Brother.

Design and stands

The Emirates Stadium is a four-tiered bowl with translucent polycarbonate roofing that extends over the stands but not over the pitch. The stadium appears to dazzle in the daytime and glimmer at night due to its glass and steel design.

It has received numerous design honours, including the Best Major Project Award and Best Use of Architectural Design.

Standard seating is available in the stadium’s upper and lower sections. Two levels below ground comprise the stadium’s support structures, including commercial kitchens, restrooms, press centres, and classrooms.

The director’s box is part of the primary, middle tier, sometimes referred to as “Club Level,” which is also the most expensive. This level has 7,139 seats available. The Emirates Stadium is a continuous bowl, although it has been divided into four sections to honour the former Highbury Ground.

Location

The Emirates Stadium lies in the Islington neighbourhood of north London, slightly over two miles from Kings Cross St Pancras railway station.

There are numerous methods to take public transportation to get to the stadium. One option is to use the underground (tube). The closest tube station is Arsenal, located on the Piccadilly line. Stations Finsbury Park (Victoria and Piccadilly line) and Highbury & Islington are good alternatives (Victoria line and London overground). The stadium is about a 10-minute walk from either station.

Capacity

It is 60,260 seating capacity places it behind Wembley Stadium, Old Trafford, and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as England’s fourth-largest football stadium. There were rumours of increasing the seating capacity, but nothing has been done so far.
