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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
