St. Mary’s Stadium – Southampton arena – stadium poster

In the heart of Southampton lies St. Mary’s Stadium. This beautiful football ground is the home of Southampton Football Club. In the 1990s, The Saints needed a new, bigger, and more modern stadium to replace the club’s old ground, The Dell. This led to the construction of St. Mary’s Stadium, which opened in 2001. Despite St. Mary’s being a new stadium, the ground has ties to the long and proud history of Southampton. Its name derives from its location near St. Mary’s Church, where The Saints was founded in 1885. St. Mary’s stadium is a second home to all who love Southampton.
