Stadium Facts

Stamford Bridge opened in 1877 as an athletics ground and became Chelsea’s home when the club was founded there in 1905. Now holding around 41,300, it has been redeveloped in stages since the 1990s into a tight, fully enclosed bowl. Long-discussed plans to expand the ground towards 60,000 remain at the planning stage rather than under construction.
