About the stadium
The stadium opened in 1877, and until 1905 it was used by the London Athletic Club. That year the new owner, Gus Mears, founded Chelsea Football Club so that it would play at the ground. Chelsea have played their home matches there ever since. Today it is the home of a Premier League club, and it is the twelfth-largest stadium in England.
The stadium has changed a great deal over the years. The latest change was in the 1990s, when it became a modern stadium where all spectators have seats. Besides football, it has hosted cricket, rugby union, rugby league, speedway, greyhound racing, baseball and American football, as well as Charity Shield matches.
