Old Trafford is the largest ground in England. What has made this ground special (especially since the re-development of the old Stretford End) is that the stands go around all the corners so that the ground is completely enclosed. For many years only Wembley was any competition to this stadium, but others are now coming up on the rails such as The Stadium Of Light in Sunderland.The ground has seen a lot of development work in recent years, with three stands being re-developed. These stands are huge three tier stands that now dwarf the older Main (South) Stand at one side of the ground. Both the East & West Stands at opposite ends of the ground look almost identical. The only obvious difference being that the sponsors name of Vodafone has been added to the seats in the East Stand, whilst it is Nike on the West Stand. The ground looks a little imbalanced with the smaller Main Stand looking somewhat out of place with its larger neighbours. Still, if this stand is re-developed in the same manner as the others and the corners of the ground filled, then the ground probably the envy of Europe. |
