Stadium

Opened: August 30, 1997

The Bet365 Stadium is the latest name for Stoke City FC's home stadium. The original name was the Britannia Stadium though a new sponsorship deal made in 2016 saw the stadium rebranded.

The stadium opened on the 30th August 1997, as a replacement for Stoke's original stadium, the Victoria Ground.

The main stands are the Boothen End sponsored by Staffordshire University & The Tile Mountain Stand. There is also the Franklyn Stand which is two-tiered and the OBI Stand.

Stoke City have recently decided to upgrade the bet365 stadium which will take place in stages over five years and will cost four million pounds.

The renovations will see over 8000 seats installed in the Franklyn Stand and Stoke's training ground will also be updated as well.
