The Emirates Stadium

Maybe it is just because I am a fan and my boyfriend is a superfan...but yeah, it was great!
To be fair, I only visited to shop to pick up new kits and buy some Arsenal souvenirs, but still!
I considered doing a tour, as they appear to be self-led and can be done pretty much on your own schedule during business hours. But a good chunk of the stadium was inaccessible due to renovations, and then another big chunk was excluded from the tour due to the set up/tear down for the Arctic Monkeys concert that week. So I wasn't going to pay 30 GBP for a tour with only half access or less...but this information, what is not accessible on the tour on certain dates, is easily discoverable on their website and kept pretty up to date.
Anyway, the outside of the stadium is impressive. It is kept clean and boasts some statues and canons with which to take photos. The huge supporters mural is a lot of fun and bold burst of color and team pride. The store is well-stocked, at least with the most popular and newest kits. And you can add your name or a players name and number to the size and kit style you want. There were some things on the website store that I had hoped to purchase in-store to avoid shipping fees (since I would already be in London and visiting the Armory) but they were not available in-person, now or ever according to an associate. But there were also some smaller knick-knack things that were not available online, so hey! Bonus there!

The staff was friendly and helpful.
They goods are there to be bought.
The store and the grounds are clean and welcoming.
COYG! Ooh to be a Gooner!

For a lot of my American friends, it's hard to explain the atmosphere that the EPL or any other Euro league brings to life in front of your eyes. The Red Army (AKA Aresnal) does that at the highest level of course!

I will start out and say that my all time favorite team is FC Barcelona, but when it comes to the EPL and or the other leagues in Europe, I am a die hard Arsenal fan. I've always dreamed of seeing a EPL game, let alone Arsenal and I finally was lucky enough to do so! My family members and I had to join the "American Arsenal Club" to even buy tickets, but oh so worth it.

Getting to the facility is super easy as the tube will bring you a mere block or two away walking distance. The neighborhood around the stadium is always riled up and waving their support for their local team (Visitors beware). The stadium itself like many of the European stadiums is amazing! I was sitting in the nosebleeds, but I frankly did not care. Even though we were playing the not so talented Everton team, it was still a great match to catch to see some big names in play and still reminisce in the glory of the match to this day!

Like many sporting events around the world, just pay attention, especially if a visitor...for that fact, don't bother wearing the away jersey...not worth the harassment alone. Food is overpriced, shocker, but you are there for the experience!

Greatest time ever
Incredible game
Incredible atmosphere
Incredible fans
Incredible wether
Incredible food and Arsenal is on the top of tables

I surprised my husband a few years ago with tickets to an NFL game here. It was Dallas vs. Jacksonville so the game wasn't really that good. But it was an amazing experience and a really fun reason to go to London! Made the trip memorable and well, I can never beat that birthday gift.

The Emirates Stadium is home to Arsenal FC, it is a fairly new stadium opening in 2006 with a capacity of just over 60,000. My first visit to the stadium was as I watched Manchester City "tear cockneys apart again" with a 3-0 victory.

The Emirates is a pretty nice stadium and while I still think it isn't in the top three stadiums in appearance in London it is probably fourth after Wembley, London Stadium and New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - I do feel it is one of the easier stations to get to, possibly the easiest in North London due to it being walkable to many hotels, Islington shops and Kings Cross Station and many bus services serving the stadium nearby too without diversions - even on matchday.

The away end was a little strange, it is basically on a corner with disabled supporters on a raised platform at the back. The seats across the stadium seemed a little slanted and far too close together, I didn't like that. The disabled seating was also poorly numbered and only every other seat was numbered meaning it was difficult to know if you were in the right place, the view was also slightly obstructed by the upper concourse, but the view was pretty much typical as Premier League grounds don't tend to give supporters a fantastic view anyway, with London Stadium of West Ham United being a notable exemption.

I did notice rather vigorous security checks here, where two separate officers checked and tagged my bag. Having neutral bag stickers like other grounds seem to do including Liverpool would have been an idea - as a Manchester City fan, I hate the thought of having to carry the Arsenal logo around my bag with me.

Ticket prices here are above average, gone are the days where away supporters would be charged more than any other club at over £60 a head but this only came in with Premier League rule changes which capped ticket-prices, so it was nothing good coming from the club as they were forced into it.

Pretty decent stadium. I think the seats on the second tier could be a little easier on the eye, and I do appreciate how they showed replays of Manchester City's goals on the screen (no other team I've been to shown away goals), but I do feel they need to improve the stadiums microphone which can't be heard from the back of the away end and disabled seating areas. 3*

Arsenal pulled out the W against Swansea 2-1 for my first Premier League game! Boyfriend and I sat in one of the longside upper tier sections and the view was fantastic. The food and beer options were limited so that was different from stadium visits that we are use to. And, you can't take beer back to your seat which sucked so knock em back before you go. If you love the game of soccer and are visiting when there is a game GO! The fans are passionate about their team and it was a great experience.

If your reading this your probably a Arsenal fan... or maybe you want to see what all the hype is about. As a longtime fan this was a must for me to check out in London. The stadium is beautiful. Take some time out of your busy day to take a walk here or even a jog. It's really peaceful when I came as it wasn't match day. You can really appreciate all the amazing legend statues. You can take a glimpse of the Emirates on your own time with absolute quiet surrounding you. Take a good look around. You might catch a couple of hidden gems as you walk around. The stadium is nothing short but beautiful.

Continuing my visit of Futbol stadiums in the Greater London area, I stopped here for a quick visit. Because of time constraints, I did not do a stadium tour. Next time a tour and a game. The gift shop is massive with many items for sale. You can decorate a whole house with Arsenal paraphernalia.

The stadium up close looks large from the outside. Walking from Halloway Road tube station, I was wondering where the stadium was till I walked around a curve in the street and your right there. Stadium is like a massive cement and glass temple to futbol.

Up the stairs to the left are public bathrooms which were open on my visit. People were having lunch on the steps.

I love this stadium and the history. Arsenal needs to win more titles!!
The self guided tour comes with audio. The Diamond Club sure is exclusive and posh. I would love to attend a game there.

The best stadium in the world. Okay it isn't but it is rather nice. Great facilities, good leg room and comfy seats with padding none of this plastic talk here. Food and drink is over priced but it's a football stadium it's what you expect.
Normally the standard of football is a pleasure to watch as well
