    Look! English Premier League football stadiums all set for big kick-off!

    football
    Emirates Stadium, Arsenal: This football stadium in North London, England is the home of Arsenal F.C and as you might have guessed, is named after the airline Emirates. The stadium was built from 2004 to 2006 and replaced Highbury Stadium which had only 38,419 seats and was too small for the need of modern football. This one has 60,631. It is much bigger but you'll often hear away fans teasing the home fans by singing "is this a library" due to a lack of atmosphere in the large new ground. Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger famously stated that the club had left their soul at Highbury when they moved to the new stadium. It’s still mighty impressive.

    Villa Park, Aston Villa: Villa Park, in Birmingham, England, is the current home stadium of Aston Villa. The colour of the seats are blue and claret because Villa's traditional home colours are claret and blue. The ground is located near the border between the two Birmingham inner-city suburbs of Aston and Witton, and is at the northern edge of Aston Park. It was opened in 1897 and has a capacity of 42,785.
