St Mary’s Stadium
St Mary’s Stadium is located on Britannia Road, Southampton, England. It has a capacity of 32,284 and it since 2001 the homebase of Southampton FC. It is currently the largest football stadium outside London in Southern England. It replaced The Dell due to the old stadium’s cramped location which made it unsuitable for major expansion work. The move was cited as the club returning home, because the club was formed by members of the nearby St. Mary’s Church, as the football team of St. Mary’s Church Young Men’s Association before becoming Southampton St. Mary’s FC, and eventually Southampton FC.
