The Emirates Stadium, better known as the Emirates, is a football stadium located in Holloway, in the London Borough of Islington, and has served as the home of Arsenal Football Club since it opened in July 2006. The stadium has a seated capacity of 60,355, making it the fifth largest football stadium in the United Kingdom, and the third largest stadium of any kind in London, after Wembley and Twickenham. The stadium was initially known as Ashburton Grove after the road it was located on, before a naming rights deal with the airline Emirates was struck in October 2004.
The stadium is a four-tiered bowl with roofing over the stands but not over the pitch. The design team included architects HOK Sport (now known as Populous), construction consultants AYH, and engineering firm Buro Happold. The stadium was constructed by Sir Robert McAlpine on the site of Ashburton Grove industrial estate, several hundred yards from the Arsenal's former stadium Highbury.
The upper (26,646) and lower (24,425) tiers of the stadium feature standard seating. Ticket prices for an adult can range between £32 and £66 for most matches, but can be as low as £13 for juniors and Cannon Club members, in the family enclosure only (designated "Category B"), with the price rising for "Category A" matches against certain top sides to between £46 and £94, with around £20 for juniors in the family enclosure.
The main middle tier, known as the "Club Level", is premium priced and also includes the director's box. There are 7,139 seats at this level, which are sold on licences lasting from one to four years. Immediately above the club tier there is a small tier consisting of 150 boxes of 10, 12 and 15 seats. The total number of spectators at this level is 2,222. Box prices start at £65,000 per annum plus VAT, and covers admission to all home league games and any home games Arsenal play in the UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup.
