Advantages: has a good atmosphere and easy to get to by tube

Disadvantages: staff were a little unhelpful

A few weeks ago i was lucky enough to get tickets for a friendly match between Brazil and Sweden at the new Arsenal stadium, the Emirates at Ashburton Grove. I was dumbstruck when i saw the ground for the first time, as you walk from the exit of Arsenal tube station you slowly see the ground which appears from over the top of the surrounding houses. The ground itself is spectacular, i have been to a fair few football matches in my time but no stadium i have been to, including Old Trafford, matches this which is difficult to say for a United fan! The designers have got a great balance between trying to bring some of the personality of the old ground and mix it with the plush new look the owners were after. The lower tier seats were the cheapest on offer and as i sat 12 rows from the pitch i was very impressed with the view. This hugely expensive development will be a hit with football fans for years to come.

Summary: Going to a game here is a really good experience
