One of the stalwart clubs of English football, and regulars on the Premier League roster, Aston Villa have spent the past century and more playing at their current home, having first moved in during 1897.
In its time, Villa Park has seen them crowned both English and European champions, and was their ground when they last claimed a major domestic honor, with the 1996 EFL Cup. With a current capacity of 42,657, it was also a venue for the 1966 FIFA World Cup and hosted the 1999 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final between Lazio and Mallorca.
GettyIn non-sporting uses, the venue has become a semi-regular stop for international tours by major artists, with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band playing a sold-out show during the 2023 off-season at the ground. Will Villa still be dancing in the dark this season though?
