Pirelli Stadium History

The Pirelli Stadium is an association football stadium on Princes Way in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England. It was built in 2005 and is the current home of Burton Albion FC, replacing the club's old Eton Park home, also on Princes Way, which was demolished and developed into housing.[8] The ground was built on the former site of the Pirelli UK Tyres Ltd Sports and Social Club, and cost £7.2 million to build, after Pirelli donated the land to the club in exchange for naming rights. The ground was designed by architects Hadfield, Cockwell & Davidson, and has served as the inspiration for several new grounds, including Morecambe's Globe Arena and the proposed Hayes & Yeading Stadium. The ground's capacity has changed slightly since its construction, and currently holds 6,912, of which 2,034 can be seated in the South (Main) Stand. The current record attendance at the stadium is 6,746, for an EFL Championship match against nearby Derby County. In European competition, the stadium is known as the Burton Albion FC Stadium due to advertising regulations.
