London Stadium

London Stadium, originally constructed as the centerpiece for the spectacular 2012 London Olympics, has been West Ham United's home since 2016, marking a significant and sometimes controversial transition from their beloved traditional home at Upton Park. With a capacity of 66,000, this venue stands as one of London's largest and most impressive sporting venues, featuring a distinctive bowl design, striking roof structure, and modern facilities that reflect its Olympic heritage and legacy. The move from the intimate and atmospheric Upton Park to this larger, modern venue marked a new chapter for the Hammers, representing the club's ambitions for growth and progress while adapting an Olympic legacy venue specifically designed for athletics to accommodate football. Located in the regenerated Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, the stadium hosts not only Premier League football but also athletics events, American baseball games, major concerts featuring international artists, and various community events that demonstrate its versatility as a multi-purpose venue. The venue represents West Ham's ambitious vision for expansion and modernization, though the atmosphere and acoustics have evolved differently from Upton Park, creating unique challenges and opportunities as the club works to establish new traditions and forge emotional connections with supporters in this impressive but distinctly different setting. This Olympic legacy venue symbolizes London's successful hosting of the 2012 Games while serving as West Ham's platform for competing at the highest levels of English and European football.
