Emirates Stadium

Since established, Arsenal moved from one stadion to another for few times. Starting from using a field in Woolwich named Manor Ground, then moved to North London, as well as build Highbury Stadium and used for first time in 1913. Arsenal was used Highbury Stadium until the 2005/06 season (or aged around 93 years). The last game that was held at Highbury Stadium in the Premier League, the Arsenal vs Wigan Athletic which was won by Arsenal with the score 4-2 with three goals from Thierry Henry. The stadium is to be replaced, because the capacity is too small compared to other clubs stadiums.
