Year Built: 2006
Modern yet steeped in history, the Emirates Stadium is one of the Premier League’s most iconic venues. Situated in Holloway, North London, the stadium replaced the legendary Highbury and quickly became a fortress for Arsenal fans. Matchday excitement begins well before kick-off, with supporters gathering in local pubs and streets, soaking up the buzz and chants that echo around the area.
Inside, the ground is a sea of red and white, with four sleek stands that offer excellent sightlines from every corner. Despite its modern design, the Emirates has retained the passion and energy that made Highbury famous. Hospitality suites, restaurants, and bars add comfort without diluting the atmosphere, and as the crowd sings the club’s new anthem, “North London Forever,” alongside other chants, the emotion is palpable. Iconic banners and choreographed tifos make matchdays here an unforgettable experience for fans and visitors alike.
