Emirates Stadium, Highbury, London

As modern stadia should be. Almost a ‘Mini’ Wembley. Great views from all seats, and easy access.

The emirates is the football stadium that all others should be modeled. It is a whole new football watching experience…plus the standard of football is top-class.

Sampled a hot-dog and the catering was top compared to other football stadiums i have visited.

A Great Stadium for a Great Team

Best stadium in the UK! 2nd to none!

Nothing but an amazing beatifully crated stadium.. fans: greatest in the world, space: spacious enough!, food: michelin star lol, atmosphere: outta this world.

All in all, I am a Arsenal fan, but more importantly read through the rest of the reviews left, I posotive I'm not the only person singing this tune.

This is by far the best stadium in london and apart from some of the spanish grounds I would say in the world! There is clear bias here as I am a fan myself, but I have to say I was opposed to the move from Highbury from the start! Needless to say the food is overpiced as well as the beer and neither warrant the cost.....but it is a football ground after all and we have to make ends meet for Arsene don't we :) If you haven't been then please go....it's a great place with a great atmosphere and should not be missed.

Great stadium, probably the best of all of the London clubs. I've been here twice, once for corporate hospitality, and, can I just say that the corporate box was really good. The staff were professional, the food and drinks superb (we even got champagne), the betting people popped in just before the match in case we wanted to wager some money, and the restrooms were big and clean.

I probably wouldn't even have made a note about any of this had I not been to another London club's corporate hospitality and found it lacking compared to Arsenal's.

just quality.

Incredible stadium and well worth the money for the stadium tour

This is the best club in the world what more can i say?

Emirates Stadium is the most beautiful Stadium in London! I've ben lucky to have experienced a few games! The fans are very friendly and the food is very good!

I took my step son to Emirates stadium for his 16th Birthday. The stadium is great and the facilities are very good. The new shop is much better than Highbury. Would definately recommend to all fellow Gunners.

impressive stadium.
Went to watch Liverpool vs Arsenal.

The Emirates is the most beautiful stadium I've visited (incl.half-doz.Olympic stadia). Facilities are superb, too.
Must advise, however, that the pointer on this map is at the wrong end of Drayton Park; the stadium is further north, in the apex of the rail triangle, near Arsenal Underground station. Geoff Taylor

I confess I'm a little short on experiencing the dank bustle of the terraces, so have only revelled in the more 'upmarket' perhaps characterless stadiums. Nonetheless, the Emirates still ranks as my favourite. Clean, well run and I've managed to bag free tickets to rows 7-9 three times consecutively, now that's what I call value!

Every time a new stadium like this opens up I hope that it hammers another nail into the coffin for crumbling ground nostalgia. Who on earth would eschew a facility like this and instead want to spend two hours shivering on a tiny slab of plastic in a dank stand whilst their shins are scraped to the bone by the seat in front?

It's comfortable, relatively easy to get to, the toilets are clean (seriously!) and the concourses are spacious so it's quite a civilised experience. Hell, even the seats are padded!

If I had to quibble I'd say it could do with better food for the plebs (rather than just the prawn sandwich brigade) and more big screens. Quite reasonably priced beer though, which was nice.

Finally the prices don't always have to be so astronomical either. £57 for a seat at Ireland vs. Brazil is a bit steep. This ground needs to be full to the rafters to have a great atmosphere.

Fantastic stadium!! The best one ever so far for me. I was literally seat just few meters away from the pitch. so so impressive, really. What makes the difference is that there are barriers to separate spectator from the player and in that case you can feel the thrill properly!!

Yeah, they moved from Highbury, yeah, they shamelessly sold the naming rights, but dammit, this stadium showcases the best football available in London and gives the punters a fantastic view, no matter where they sit. Ok, the food available is terrible, but this is a football stadium after all.

How to see the stadium
You can pay for a tour most non-match days. Or, if you're cheap, or an architecture buff, the stadium usually participates in London OpenHouse weekend (Sep), so if you sign up early enough you can get in for free.

How to see a match
Tickets for all Arsenal games are made available to members first, and if any are left over they are then released to the public (via the arsenal website or box office at the ground).

Most premier league matches sell out before getting to the public (scalpers will be around on matchday to help you out/rip you off if you're desperate though), so your best bet is for other competitions (especially in the early rounds): League Cup, FA Cup, or Champions League. Paradoxically, these are probably the more entertaining: there's nothing like seeing Arsene's toddlers running rings around a team you've never heard of, or seeing the full-team battling against the best in Europe (which many consider too awkward, travel-wise, for a week-night). Be warned though: you might get hooked after watching a brilliant cup match, then shell out for membership and end up frustrated and bored to tears as you watch another inept draw or narrow loss in the league...

Otherwise, keep an eye out for international friendlies being played: Emirates has effectively become the UK home ground for Brazil when they're on a a money-spinning tour.

Great stadium, but they need to get the food situation sorted. Drastically overpriced, lack of choice and no healthy options.

Fantastic stadium. Anyone know if the Gunners plan on touring the states, as many Premiership teams have recently? I live near San Francisco and want to see them play here.
