The Emirates Stadium was built at a cost of £390 million. Actual construction began in February 2004 and the stadium was opened in July 2006, with the official ceremony by Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, on 26 October, 2006. It was originally known as Ashburton Grove, after the road where it is located. However a naming rights deal with Emirates Airlines signed in October 2004 had the stadium renamed.

The Emirates Stadium is the new home of the Arsenal Football Club, which outgrew the Arsenal Stadium at Highbury, which had a capacity of 38,419. The new Emirates Stadium has a seated capacity of 60,355. To the immediate north of the stadium is the Arsenal Football Club Museum.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
