Biggest Stadiums in the UK

There is nothing I love more when I am not running than to go and watch live sport. Here in the UK we have hundreds of Stadiums for a multitude of sports. As we went to Twickenham Stadium to watch England play rugby, my youngest asked me what were the biggest stadiums in the UK. I didn’t know the answer so I consulted Wikipedia. As I scrolled through the list I realised I had been to quite a few.

I have replicated that Wikipedia list below for grounds with a capacity greater than 5,000. Those in bold I have visited and those with links are my own reviews of the grounds. The list doesn’t include indoor arenas that are used for multiple events. If you think there are any mistakes, then please leave a comment. Likewise let me know how many you have visited.
