Stadium Southampton's football stadium and club home ground

St Mary’s Stadium is a football stadium in Southampton, England, and the home ground of Southampton Football Club. It opened in 2001 and provides a seated bowl with a capacity of roughly 32,000 spectators.

The stadium hosts domestic league and cup matches and occasional concerts and events. The bowl seating is continuous around the pitch and matchdays draw local and visiting supporters, with a mix of general seating and corporate facilities.

Built to replace the club’s former ground, The Dell, the stadium was developed to give Southampton a larger modern venue capable of meeting contemporary safety and seating standards. It has been the club’s primary home since opening in 2001.

The ground sits in the St Mary’s area of the city of Southampton in southern England, within the urban area of the city and accessible from local transport links.
