Emirates Stadium
With the seating capacity of 60,432, thus making it the second largest stadium in the Premiership after Old Trafford, it is the third-largest stadium of any kind in London, after Wembley and Twickenham. The Emirates Stadium has earned acclaim as a football stadium that was located on Ashburton Grove in Holloway, north London. It was stated as the home of Arsenal Football Club since it opened in July 2006. During the planning and construction stages, it was known as Ashburton Grove before a naming rights deal with the airline Emirates was struck in October 2004. The stadium project cost 430 million pounds, but not all was for the actual construction of the stadium itself.
The new stadium pays tribute to Arsenal’s former home, Highbury. The club’s offices are officially called Highbury House, located north-east of Emirates Stadium. Additionally, the two bridges over the railway line to the east of the stadium, connecting the stadium to Drayton Park, are called the Clock End and North Bank bridges, after the stands at Highbury; the clock that gave its name to the old Clock End has been rested on the exterior of Emirates Stadium facing the bridge of the same name. The Arsenal FC club museum, which was formerly held in the North Bank Stand, opened in October 2006 and is located to the north of the stadium, within the Northern Triangle building.
The stadium is a four-tiered bowl with roofing over the stands but not over the pitch. The design team was made up of architects HOK Sport, construction consultants AYH, and engineering firm Buro Happold. The stadium was constructed by Sir Robert McAlpine on the site of the former Ashburton Grove industrial estate, several hundred metres from Arsenal’s former stadium Highbury.
Inside the Emirates Stadium the upper (26,646) and lower (24,425) tiers of the stadium are standard seating. The upper tier is contoured to leave open space in the corners of the ground, and the roof is significantly canted inwards. Both of these features are meant to provide as much air flow and sunlight to the pitch as possible. Arsenals have a reputation for having one of the best playing surfaces in the world, and the design of the new stadium took this into account. This does have the effect that supporters in the upper tier on one side of the ground are unable to see supporters in the upper tier opposite. In the north-west and south-east corners of the stadium are two giant screens suspended from the roof.
Arsenal started looking to develop a larger stadium during the later part of the 1990s, as their existing ground at Highbury had a capacity of 38,419 when it became all-seater in 1993, which was lower than the stadium capacities of almost every other European football club of comparable stature. There was little room for expansion as the East Stand backed directly onto the pavement of a public road and the other three backed onto housing; in addition the East Stand is a Grade II listed building. Arsenal had a season ticket waiting list which had been closed for some time with over 20,000 members, and were missing out on a great deal of potential revenue. However, finding a site for a new stadium in London was extremely difficult.
Actual construction of the stadium began in February 2004. As well as the stadium itself, two bridges over the Northern City railway line connecting the stadium with Drayton Park were also built; these were completed in summer 2004. The stadium topped out in August 2005, and was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. The club has announced that all of the hospitality boxes have been taken and by February 2006 90% of the club tier seats had been sold, by June 2006 the rest had been sold too. The first seat in the new stadium was ceremonially installed on 13 March 2006 by Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby. The stadium’s floodlights were successfully tested for the first time on 25 June, and a day later the goalposts were erected.
The Emirates Stadium was officially opened by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on Thursday October 26, 2006; it had been intended that Queen Elizabeth II would officially open the stadium as well, but she suffered a back injury and was unable to attend on the day. The royal visit echoed the attendance of the Queen’s uncle, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII) at the official opening of Highbury’s West Stand in 1932.
