ASTON VILLA

Villa Park (capacity 42,788)

Villa Park has been the home to Aston Villa since 1897, and is one of the more interesting stadiums in the league as each of the four stands have their own design. It also holds the record for hosting the most FA Cup Semi Finals, having hosted 55 matches in total.

The stadium has gone through significant development over the years, and has future plans to redevelop the North Stand, which would increase the capacity to around 50,000. Between the Trinity Road and Holte End stands is an unusual feature of the ground, which is a pavilion type structure which is used for corporate hospitality.

Away fans visiting Villa Park are located on one side of the Doug Ellis Stand, towards the North end of the stadium, with an allocation of up to around 3,000 depending on demand.
