Arsenal’s New Stadium- Emirates Stadium- Ready For Business

Today Arsenal officially unveiled their new stadium for its club members. As many as 20,000 fans turned up for the special tour. It was also the squad’s first time training in this magnificent stadium. The stadium costs are £390million, it seats 60,000 and is named Emirates Stadium for the first 10 years of its life.

I leave you with the picture (that pitch is sooo green!)

      Ahmed,
      Yeah I think it would be a symbol for years to come, Wembley was supposed to it, but I would think people would have got bored with it right now, with all those delays, they should have learned from Arsenal, They said August 2006, and they delivered it early!

      S,
      I\’ll believe you when I see it. It looks huge from the pics. I have been following on it since they began constructing it. Arsenal.com has monthly pics to the the progress of it, and when they started to build the outer edge of the stadium and compare it to buildings around it, I knew this was HUGE.

      MvYv,
      man u need to dig harder.

      Marzouq,
      where will u be in 4 weeks :P

      Cece,
      I know! I wanna be there!

      I was just wondering how Arsenal FC have managed to pay for this stadium. Where has the £390 million come from? I hear they’ve accumulated some huge debts because of this and personaly doubt whether they can maintain the repayments and keep at the highest level within the transfer market. Should Arsenal fail to get into the Champions league for next season or get knocked out early this season then Arsenal could have some MAJOR financial worries. They may well have a world class stadium but that’s no good if you don’t have a world class team thats winning trophies.

      The figures just don’t add up. Perhaps somebody can enlighten me.
