Old Trafford

Old Trafford - Home of the Red Devils

One of the most famous in the world, this stadium has been home to Manchester United FC since 1910. It was first conceived after chairman John Henry Davies decided in 1909 that the previous Manchester United football ground at Bank Street was no longer suitable for a championship winning team. The new stadium was designed by architect Archibald Leitch and now has a full capacity of 75,731, making it the second largest football stadium in the UK.

The stadium regularly hosts some of the world's biggest international fixtures like the FA Cup, World Cup, Champion's league matches as well as Rugby League matches and notably the 2012 Summer Olympics. Nicknamed the 'Theatre of Dreams' by legendary midfielder Bobby Charlton, this venue is one of the finest places in the world to watch the great game. The stadium has also played host to live music, with performers ranging from Status Quo, to Bon Jovi and Simply Red.
