From Highbury to the Emirates
Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium is taking shape and will be ready in time for the start of the 2006-2007 season.
Just a few minutes walk from the old Highbury (which opened in 1913, capacity 38,500) the new Emirates Stadium at Ashburton Grove (capacity 60,000) will be a spectacular sight from Highbury Hill. Highbury will be demolished and replaced by new flats.
The stadium is easily accessible from Holloway Road and Arsenal tube stations on the Piccadilly Line and Drayton Park railway station.
