The
Emirates Stadium, or simply the Emirates, formerly Ashburton Grove, is a football stadium located in Holloway in the London Borough of Islington and is the current home of
Arsenal Football Club. The stadium opened in July 2006 and has an all seated capacity of 60,432, making it the fifth largest football stadium in the United Kingdom, and the third largest club stadium in England behind
Manchester United's Old Trafford and England's
Wembley Stadium in London. It is the third largest stadium of any kind in London, after
Wembley and
Twickenham. It was initially known as
Ashburton Grove after the road it was located on, before a naming rights deal with the airline Emirates was struck in October 2004. The project cost £430 million, including the cost of the associated infrastructure.
