Emirates Stadium
In 2006 Arsenal walked out of 93-year-old Highbury and dropped a 60,704-seat bowl into the Holloway backstreets.

No match ticket needed. The exterior is an open-air club shrine — bronze statues, huge player murals, and a memorial to every Highbury-era player — so a lap of the concourse walks you through Arsenal's whole history.
What to look for
- The lower-tier seats: white ones arranged in the pattern of the club's cannon
- Eight giant exterior murals of 32 legends "embracing" the stadium — Henry, Wright, Vieira, Bergkamp among them
- Bronze statues of Henry, Tony Adams and manager Herbert Chapman (2011), with Dennis Bergkamp added in 2014
Arsenal tube station sits at the door and matchday parking is banned nearby, so come by Underground. The club museum — formerly in the old North Bank Stand — opened in October 2006 and now sits in the Northern Triangle building north of the stadium.
