If the Emirates Stadium expansion goes ahead, where would the home of Arsenal FC sit in terms of the United Kingdom’s biggest sporting venues?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners moved into their current home at the start of the 2006\/07 season. Paving the way for a new era after a hugely successful tenure at Highbury.<\/p>\n

Costing approximately \u00a3390 million to build, the Emirates has played host to some magical moments over the last 18 years. However, Gunners supporters are yet to see a Premier League<\/a> title lifted in N7.<\/p>\n

Under the stewardship of legendary manager Arsene Wenger, the north Londoners often had to work on tighter transfer budgets than their rivals. Owing to the fact that the Emirates cost a huge sum.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, it’s a drop in the ocean compared to what rivals Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> paid for their upgraded version of White Hart Lane. The 62,850-seater stadium cost approximately \u00a31.2bn.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Manchester United’s plans of a new stadium<\/a> is set to cost them a staggering \u00a32bn. Football of course, has moved on rapidly in terms of a financial sense.<\/p>\n

However, if Arsenal are able to up the ante and get the green light for the Emirates Stadium expansion, how would it compare to other UK sporting venues?<\/p>\n

The Biggest Premier League Stadiums<\/h2>\n

Unsurprisingly, the most successful side in Premier League history boast the largest stadium. Manchester United has a confirmed seating capacity of 74,879.<\/p>\n

The runner-up spot falls to Tottenham. The Lilywhites sporting arena can seat 62,850 spectators and also has over 100 luxury boxes.<\/p>\n

Confirming their podium spot is West Ham<\/a>. The east Londoners moved into their London Stadium venue in 2016 which has an exact capacity of 62,500. Although, the Hammers don’t actually own the ground.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot’s Liverpool<\/a> claim a top-four spot with a recently expanded Anfield able to host 60,725 fans on any given matchday in Merseyside.<\/p>\n

In fifth is Arsenal<\/a>. The Gunners were once number two on the list but can still provide adequate seating for a mammoth 60,704 fans.<\/p>\n

Biggest UK Sporting Venues<\/h2>\n

Here’s for the fun and interesting part. Where would the potential Emirates Stadium expansion put the venue on par with other UK stadia?<\/p>\n

First and foremost, Arsenal would be intending to increase their current home from 60,704 seats to 80,000. Naturally, that would be the largest ever Premier League stadium.<\/p>\n

In terms of the whole United Kingdom, it still wouldn’t be the largest on offer. That honour would fall to Wembley – the home of the England football team which boasts a capacity of 90,000.<\/p>\n

Twickenham Stadium<\/a> – the home of the England rugby team takes the runner-up spot. The venue can comfortably seat 82,000 spectators.<\/p>\n

Taking third spot is Manchester United’s Old Trafford with fourth place going to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.<\/p>\n

Rounding off the top five is Murrayfield. The stadium – which is located in Edinburgh – is the home of Scottish rugby. It has a capacity of 67,144.<\/p>\n
