Advantages: well designed modern football stadium

Disadvantages: can be slow getting out to stations, atmosphere can be lacking

I visited this stadium last year for a friendly between Brazil and Sweden. The Emirates stadium is the newest Stadium of Arsenal Football club and was completed in 2006. It has a capacity of around 60,000 specatators and is located in Holloway, Islington and is not too far away from Arsenal's old stadium, Highbury.

The nearest stations are Holloway Road and Arsenal stations both on the London Underground with quite easy access although these stations aren't very large and exiting after a match can take a while.

Like most stadiums in London it is probably not advisable to drive and would be best to use public transport.

The stadium itself has a nice design and could in some ways be described a smaller version of Wembley without the arch.

The price of the tickets were £35 for this match and I think the ticket prices range from around £30-£90 for adults for normal Arsenal games depending on where you sit and the game you wish to attend. This price would be lower for other groups but you would have to check out the Arsenal website for more details!

It is a nice stadium but like alot of modern stadiums the atmoshphere is not always as great as with more enclosed stadiums closer to the pitch.

Summary: Nice stadium -Smaller version of Wembley without the arch!
