Everything you need to know about Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and how to get to the venue.
The Emirates Stadium has been Arsenal’s home since 2006, with the venue opening after two years of construction to take over from the famous old Highbury. The 60,704-seater stadium was state of the art when it opened, and it remains one of the best stadiums in Europe with a four-star UEFA rating.
Arsenal paid £390 million to create their current home, and it is regularly packed out, with the record attendance being set in 2019 during a November Premier League clash with Wolves. As many as 60,383 tickets were sold for that game, leaving just over 300 unsold seats in total. The Emirates Stadium is home not only to Arsenal but Arsenal Women, who confirmed in June that all future WSL home games would be played at the Stadium. Join us below as we run you through what you need to know about the Emirates Stadium experience.

Parking at the Emirates Stadium
Like many London stadiums, the Emirates Stadium offers little street parking due to resitents-only restrictions. It is recommended to park further away from the ground and catching a tube to the stadium.
Season ticket holders have access to parking that can be booked on a game-by-game or seasonal basis. Within this parking, there are 100 accessibility spaces set aside for blue badge holders, but these too must be booked in advance via the official channels.
