Ranked: 50 Best Stadiums In The United Kingdom
10) Villa Park (Aston Villa F.C.)
The 42,682-seater stadium has been the home of Aston Villa since 1897. The stadium is known for its great atmosphere. The Villan’s home ground has hosted many international matches, FA Cup fixtures as a matter-of-fact Villa Park has hosted 55 FA Cup semi-finals, more than any other stadium. It has a very good location and attracts a good audience. These things make it one of the best stadiums in the United Kingdom. The club is also planning a renovation for the arena that would see its capacity increasing.
9) Anfield (Liverpool F.C.)
How could we miss Anfield when we are discussing the best stadiums in British Football. The most famous thing about the arena is the fans singing “You Will Never Walk Alone”. The red army is always behind their team especially on the European fixtures, the atmosphere on those famous European nights in Anfield is a thing of beauty. Overall, Liverpool stadium is a great place to visit.
8) Etihad Stadium (Manchester City)
The very beautifully built Etihad stadium is surely among the best stadiums in the UK. The home of the Sky Blues has played its role in City’s success over the past few years. Even though some would say that the atmosphere isn’t very intimidating and it doesn’t attract many fans but it still is a great stadium with good facilities. In architectural beauty, it is one of the best stadiums in the United Kingdom.
7) Ibrox Stadium (Rangers F.C.)
One of the best stadia in Scotland, the home of Rangers is also among one of the biggest stadiums of Scotland. It was formerly known as Ibrox Park and was renamed as Ibrox Stadium after renovations completed in 1997. The arena has also been the home venue of the Scotland National Football Team in the past when Hampden park wasn’t available. It has a good structure and a better location.
6) St. James Park (Newcastle United)
St James Park has a good capacity of 52,354 and on record is the 8th largest ground in England. The maximum attendance there was recorded to be 68,386. St. James’ Park has been the home of Newcastle United since 1892. The ground has been used for international football and rugby fixtures as well. The structure of the stadium is very intimidating for the opponents and an in-form Magpies team can be very lethal for the visitors in St. James Park.
5) Celtic Park (Celtic F.C.)
It is the home ground of the Scottish giants Celtic. Also known as Parkhead or Paradise, the Bhoys’ home ground has a class of its own. The stadium is probably one of the best stadia in Europe in terms of atmosphere, the fans are very loud and enthusiastic. Celtic’s home ground and fans are one of the big reasons for the club’s success in the past years. Celtic Park is widely regarded as one of the best stadiums in the United Kingdom.
4) Old Trafford (Manchester United)
Also called “The Theatre of Dreams”, the 75,731-seater ground is the largest club football ground in the Kingdom. The classic old school beauty of the arena is incomparable. The Red Devils’ home ground is a very famous ground among football fans. The stadium has seen many ups and downs of the club but the fans have always been behind the club and the Old Trafford will surely see its home team reaching its heights again soon.
3) Emirates Stadium (Arsenal F.C.)
Arsenal have the blessing of a great stadium, one of the best in the country with some really good fans who create an exhilarating atmosphere on match days. The pitch of the ground is pristine. The ground of the gunners for me is an epitome of aesthetic beauty. The ground is known best for its great facilities that include food, security, stewarding, etc.
2) Wembley Stadium (English National Football Team)
One of the most famous football grounds in the world, Wembley was opened in 2007. It has hosted a lot of events including some FA cup finals and semi-finals, the Football League Cup final, the FA Community Shield, the Football League Play-Off Final, some NFL games and concerts too. The arena has a really great location which is easily accessible and with a whopping capacity of 90,000, it is the largest stadium in the whole United Kingdom.
1) Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Tottenham)
The very newly build Tottenham Hotspur stadium is ranked best among all the football stadiums in UK due to its unmatched beauty, great size and capacity, good atmosphere, and nice facilities. Spurs have been pulling a larger crowd since the opening of their new stadium and they have a better home record too since they moved to the new stadium. The 62,303-seater ground is also among the biggest grounds in the UK.
What a joke “survey”. To have Celtic Park in the top 10 is ridiculous – have you been there? It’s falling to bits and a dump!
