Villa Park Stadium Overview

Villa Park has been Aston Villa's iconic home since 1897, making it one of English football's most historic and prestigious venues. With a capacity of 42,095, it's renowned for the atmospheric Holte End and traditional English football architecture that has remained largely unchanged for decades. The stadium has an illustrious history, hosting FA Cup semi-finals, international matches including England fixtures, and serving as a venue for Euro 96 where it welcomed some of the tournament's most memorable moments. Located in the Aston area of Birmingham, Villa Park features four distinctive stands - the Holte End, Trinity Road Stand, North Stand, and Doug Ellis Stand - each with excellent acoustics that create one of the Premier League's most intimidating and spine-tingling environments. The famous Holte End, in particular, generates incredible noise and has been home to some of football's most passionate supporters for over a century. Recent renovations have carefully modernized facilities including upgraded concourses, hospitality areas, and player facilities while meticulously preserving the stadium's Victorian character, heritage charm, and traditional football atmosphere that makes Villa Park a truly special venue.
