Advantages: Large, clean, easily accessible tube line

Disadvantages: very different to Arsenal's much cherished previous ground

When Arsenal decided that they were going to leave their old stadium 'Highbury', it was a sad moment. And yet it was a sign of huge intent by one of England's most famous and well established clubs. The classy looking new Emirates stadium is modern, crisp, architecturally brilliant and houses up to 60,000 people. The seating is spacious throughout the ground and the facilities are exceptional. Toilets, food stands and merchandise shops galore! Another positive point is that the ground is fed directly from the Piccadily London underground line. A two minute walk to your seats from the station is ideal! Perhaps the only minor negative point when it comes to this stadium is that because the ground is so large, it doesn't have the same intense, close atmosphere of Arsenal's previous ground and this perhaps doesn't show off the true loyalty and passion of Arsenal's fans. However that said it is an absolute theatre of football and can only help add to a great day watching one of England's top teams.

Summary: A comfortable and architecturally beautiful stadium, a joy to watch football in!
