A hot topic of conversation amongst Premier League fans is which stadium generates the best atmosphere.
Having a raucous home crowd can even help change the flow of a game, with an intimidating home support helping suck the ball into the net.
For visiting players, some grounds can be a nightmare to go to. However, there are other stadiums which are relatively quiet and less intimidating to visit.

20 Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth
Vitality-stadium-bournemouth
Starting off at the quieter stadiums in the division, AFC Bournemouth’s ground holds just over 11,000, something which hinders the atmosphere.
The Cherries have performed well on the south coast, however, a visiting player probably doesn’t fear a trip to the Vitality Stadium.
19 Craven Cottage
Fulham
fulham-craven-cottage-premier-league
Next on the list is Fulham, with Craven Cottage previously having a mixed section for home and away supporters.
Now expanded to a capacity of just under 30,000, the Cottagers can create a good atmosphere, especially in a London derby, however, on the whole, it is one of the more relaxed stadiums to visit in the top flight.
18 Molineux
Wolves
Molineux
Wolves fans have not had much to shout about in recent years, and that has come across in the flat atmosphere at Molineux.
Regular defeats and flat performances have left home supporters with nothing to cheer or get behind, whereas it is arguably the worst viewpoint for away fans on the side of the pitch.
17 London Stadium
West Ham

Even West Ham fans may even argue that the London Stadium should be further down this list after swapping the cauldron that was Upton Park for their current 62,500 stadium.
Built for the 2012 Olympics, it is evident that the ground was not made for football and that often comes across from the stands, with seats too far away to feel on top of the players.
16 AMEX Stadium
Brighton
brighton-amex-stadium
An impressive ground to visit, the AMEX Stadium has been home to Brighton & Hove Albion since 2011 and has been a Premier League stadium since 2017.
The Seagulls have had plenty of success and memorable moments at their home, which has created a solid atmosphere, especially behind the goal.
15 Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford
Brentford-Grech-community-stadium
Brentford moved into their new stadium in 2020 and have enjoyed plenty of success in the Premier League since.
However, the Gtech Community Stadium which holds more than 17,000 isn’t exactly a daunting place to go. A game under the lights can often generate the best atmosphere, though, as we saw in their 2-1 win over Liverpool.
14 Turf Moor
Burnley
Burnley-turf-moor
An old school traditional stadium, Turf Moor sees supporters close to the pitch with stands that rise steeply.
Holding just under 22,000 when at full capacity, the Clarets can generate a solid atmosphere but arguably cannot compete with some of their Premier League rivals and their grounds.
13 Stamford Bridge
Chelsea
Chelsea v Brentford - Stamford Bridge
Chelsea’s atmosphere has been described as dull and lethargic and Joe Cole said in 2025 that it’s the “worst” he's seen in all his years supporting, playing or visiting Stamford Bridge.
Despite this, the Blues often show in a big game that the noise can be generated, but they just don’t do it regularly enough.
12 Etihad Stadium
Man City
Manchester City v West Ham United - Etihad Stadium
Manchester City’s home support has been a running joke for a number of years now, however, the Etihad Stadium can generate an excellent atmosphere at times, especially for the big Premier League games.
The consistency isn’t there, though, with home supporters often leaving early despite seeing Pep Guardiola’s side run riot more often than not.
11 Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham

Even though Tottenham have one of the newest stadiums in the division, which includes a South Stand capacity of 17,500, Spurs’ home support is often flat.
Performances and results haven’t been there in recent years, but the 62,850 stadium doesn’t produce the atmosphere it should.
