List of stadiums in England

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of sports stadiums in England, ranked in descending order of capacity; any stadium in England with a capacity of 10,000 or more is included.

Only stadiums within the territory of England are included; thus the home stadiums of the three Welsh football clubs playing in the English Football League are not listed here.

[edit] Former stadiums

See also: List of defunct English football stadia

Following crowd troubles in the 1980s and regulations imposed after the Taylor Report, several English football league stadiums have been built or completely redeveloped in the last few years. Prior to 1988, however, the last newly-built Football League ground in England was Roots Hall, Southend, which was opened in 1955.
