About
Arsenal's 60,000-seat cathedral to football replaced beloved Highbury in 2006, proving modern stadiums can preserve passion. The £390 million arena showcases how working-class Woolwich roots evolved into global brand without abandoning identity. Curved roof floats above glass facades while steep stands create the famous "Highbury roar" in contemporary acoustics.
Gunners Glory
Marble halls recreate Highbury's Art Deco entrance. Statues honor legends: Adams, Henry, Chapman. The museum traces munitions workers to "Invincibles" (2003-04 unbeaten season). Interactive displays test knowledge while trophy collections inspire awe.
