Advantages: Fantastic Architecture, Seats very comfortable

Disadvantages: Tricky to navigate around, some seats too far from pitch

The Emirates Stadium is immense in size, stature and structure, and is a credit to modern architecture as it is one of the most spectacular sights you will have seen as a football fan. It seems to suit Arsenal now they are an established force, and their ever-persistent dream to become the Kings of European football. However on my only visit to the Emirates I have to say that I much preferred Highbury - Better atmosphere and funnier characters amongst the crowd were present just up the road. Although my seat was way too high/far from the pitch - and this was NOT a cheap seat (in the first half Arsenal were playing towards the end where I was sitting, and Goalkeeper Manual Almunia was so far away I couldn't tell what colour he was wearing! - and this is coming from someone with excellent eyesight). HOWEVER, credit is due to to Arsenal and the designers as they are padded and very comfortable.
The food must be like being at an NFL/Baseball game in the States -Chilli Dogs, Popcorn, Nachos, Pizza etc. By all means try it yourself and see, but I , for one, won't be rushing back any time soon.
