Carrow Road History

Carrow Road is a football stadium in Norwich, Norfolk, England, and is the home ground of EFL Championship club Norwich City. The stadium is located east of the city centre, near Norwich railway station and the River Wensum. Norwich City previously played at Newmarket Road, before moving to The Nest. When The Nest proved too small for the growing crowds, the Carrow Road ground, named after the road on which it is situated, was built by Norwich City in just 82 days and opened on 31 August 1935. The stadium has undergone several renovations and upgrades throughout its history, most notably after a fire in 1984 that destroyed the old City Stand. Having previously had standing areas for supporters, the ground has been all-seater since 1992. The current capacity of the ground is 27,359. The highest attendance at the all-seater stadium was 27,137, for a Premier League match against Newcastle United on 2 April 2016.

Carrow Road has also hosted Under-21 international football and several concerts, including performances by Elton John and George Michael. The Carrow Road site includes catering facilities and a Holiday Inn hotel offering rooms with pitch views.
