Old Trafford Stadium
The Old Trafford Stadium is located at the Old Trafford area in the greater Manchester. It is the home of Manchester United football club and has the capacity to hold up to 74,994. This makes it the largest club football stadium in England, and the second largest in the country after Wembley Stadium. Old Trafford stadium is also the 11 largest in Europe. The stadium has been the home of Manchester United since 1910. However, due to the bombing of World War 2, Manchester United had to share Maine Road with Manchester City from 1941-1949.
Due to the success of Manchester United Football Club throughout the years, Bobby Charlton, who is considered one of the greats to have represented the club, christened the stadium as "The Theatre of Dreams." The stadium has hosted a host of high profile games including matches for the 1966 World Cup, EURO 96 games, England fixtures, FA Cup semi-finals, the 2003 Champions league final, the final of 2 Rugby League World Cups and a Super League Grand final among many others.
The vast history of the stadium, coupled with the continued success of Manchester United means the stadium is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the country. One of the best ways to explore the stadium is through stadium tours. Tours are available every week throughout the year excluding match days and holidays. Any maintenance works may also impact on the tours. While on the tour, you may expect to access the educational and interactive museum of Old Trafford.
