Nickname: Theatre of Dreams
Capacity: 68,000 seats
Old Trafford football stadium
(given the nickname The Theatre of Dreams by Bobby Charlton) is the home of
Manchester United F.C., one of the most famous football clubs in the world.
Located in the borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester, it has been United's

share Manchester City's home ground, Maine Road, until the rebuilding of Old
Trafford was completed in 1949.
Capacity (38,500)
Arsenal Football Club (also known as Arsenal, The Arsenal or The Gunners) is a football club from north London, and one of the most successful clubs in English football. Founded in 1886, the team currently plays at Arsenal Stadium, Highbury, but will move in 2006 to the new Emirates Stadium nearby.
Limitations in Highbury's capacity (38,500) have prevented the club from maximising the revenue their impressive domestic form could have brought in in recent seasons. Although the club remains highly profitable, in order to close the gap with rivals such as Manchester United, Arsenal are currently in the process of building the Emirates Stadium, a new 60,000 seater stadium at Ashburton Grove, about 500m southwest, towards Holloway Road
Capacity: 40,242 .
The stand known to generations of supporters as 'Churchmans' was totally rebuilt in 2000 and now consists of a two-tier stand providing an additional 4,000 seats. Additionally, incorporated within the new 'Greene King Stand' are 'The Legends Bar' capable of accommodating 600 supporters on match days and the 'Galleria' restaurant which can provide 180 covers and is now regarded as a major venue in Ipswich on non-match days.After the demolition of the North Stand which, strangely,did not stand square to the pitch. For most of the season this end of the ground was devoid of fans and there have been assertions that the lack of the 'North Stand Roar' was partially responsible for our relegation from the Premiership at the end of that season. With another 4,000 seats added as a result of this development, Ipswich could boast an all-seater stadium of 30,300. The combined cost of these two developments was in the region of £22m. With these facilities, together with new floodlighting and an on-site superstore, the infrastructure at Ipswich Town Football Club is one to be proud of.
