- I took the Emirates Stadium Tour and will tell you all about the history of Arsenal Football Club in this video.
From their formation in south London, to their move north, to Herbert Champan & Arsene Wenger I'll take you through everything you need to know about The Gunners!
Currently managed by Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have struggled in the Premier League in recent years but did pick up an FA Cup in 2020. Can they challenge for Premier League titles again and reach the promised land of the Champions League?

Don't forget your duster when visiting spurs trophy room
Vacuum*
Why? What's there to dust off or vacumm off???
@@liquidh6344 move the dust to find the light switch.
Surely need an N95 mask too 😷
hahah...savage🤣🤣🤣
A tiny bit of research would have found that arsenal couldn’t develop any further on Highbury, hence the move from a 38,000 seater stadium to 60,000
you did the research saved him the bother
You need to consider the difference in years when both stadium were built. Arsenal moved into the Emirates in 2006, hence the 390 Million Pounds price tag while Tottenham moved in by 2019, hence the 1 Billion Pounds price tag. That's a 13 year gap. Prices would have gone up, therefore, If the Emirates had been built during the 2016-2019 period, it would have cost more.
It would have cost more but the price would not have tripled.
@@theocoles6827 spurs cost calculation was £300 million in 2007 chack out tifo video
@@theocoles6827 it’s very possible it would have triple. Inflation is insane
@@anthony6800 The financial Crisis didn't start until 2007, although inflation was at an all time high in 2022, the emirates would've been nowhere near as expensive as totenhams
@@adriangutierrez3196 Even more ...
Arsenal were not allowed to redevelop Highbury, due to it being listed. Also all the house around Highbury - actually owned by Arsenal and rented back at peppercorn rents - are listed, and so could not be knocked down to make ground larger.
Arsene Wenger had part in designing Emirates, also Wembley and even Spuds asked his advice when building the N17 Bottling Factory.
I thought it was pretty well known so I was surprised about the commentary in this video. Specifically, it was the East and West stands that were listed. It's why they redeveloped the North Bank stand in the early 90s so get a few more fans in. Prior to the Taylor Report, following the Anfield disaster, I believe Highbury had the highest capacity ground in England. It's a shame that it was unable to be redeveloped and shows the short sightedness of the planning laws in England because surely 99.9% of people would prefer to see Highbury as a football stadium rather than a block of apartments.
The people who designed and built the stadium is the same group that did benfica and spurs . Hence why they all look the same with the same design language. Being built years apart means each stadium is basically a modern upgrade from the other .
Benfica > arsenal > spurs
@@c0mbat15 Im not a arsenal fan but i think highbury was probably 100x better then the emirates. Sure the emirates is big and looks nice but the atmosphere in highbury was so much better compared to the emirates and arsenal were also way more succesful in highbury and if they had not moved to the emirates they probably could have won a champions league and a few more prems
@@akrish2351 I think the romantic in all of us would love to think that. I loved Highbury and agree that the atmosphere has never been the same at the Emirates. But any Arsenal fan (which I am) would be kidding themselves to think that remaining there would have kept the good times rolling. The fact is that Roman Abramovic's take over of Chelsea in 2003 changed the premier league for ever. Arsenal were already in decline by 2006 (the year we moved to the Emirates) due to the fact that unearthing bargain buy players was much more difficult when we won the premier league for the last time in 2003. The sad fact is (because I dearly miss Highbury) that if we hadn't of built the Emirates (for only £350m vs the £1b for the new Spurs stadium) we would have likely been worse than we are today. Sadly the only thing that would have made us better than today would have been more free spending owners. Most other club owners spend far more thsn ours do (the exception being this year).
@@c0mbat15 yea I think you needed new owners after roman took over Chelsea and kronke right now as far as I know has been spending quite a bit like 150 million in one transfer window is kinda crazy I think the reason he wasn't spending much before was probably because he was pushing for a super league and arsenal were making a ton of money but due to decline in the pitch revenue has probably gone down and now finally he is probably gonna invest more and if he continues to back arteta in January transfer window and others then arsenal might get champions league football in a few years
There was no chance of developing Highbury unfortunately. The east and west stands were listed buildings and still stand, although theyve been converted to residential use. The North bank and clock end were already about as big as they could be due to surrounding roads and buildings.
Ah fair enough, thanks for letting me know mate and cheers for watching
I remember being shocked how close to houses Highbury was. We (boro) got a few results there but mainly hammered.
Arsenal haven't got 60, 000 fan's though they have what they needed at Highbury.
They have the same hardcore support at the Emirates spread out bout 38 000 the rest are Japanese tourists and corporates which adds to a dull crap atmosphere bowl of a stadium
Very true.
Also, I think that they wanted a ground with more room for corporate boxes and VIP suites (which - whether we like it or not - are an increasingly important source of revenue for ALL professional sports clubs, not just Arsenal).
@@kevglass4924 Barely see any tourists at Arsenal lmao, it's mainly Liverpool, Utd and City that have that.
The factory where the royal armament workers of Woolwich is now a Youngs Pub called The Dail Arch as I live around the area. I loved Highbury Stadium so much
You've been to so many of my local clubs and now you're at my favourite, went here August 12th 2019 and it's still the best day of my life. Great video!
The problem with red is it’s the worst colour to suffer from sun fade, cars are the same. Have only been once around 2009 and was a stunning stadium. Noticed in particular the space between seats and rows, not to mention padded seats all round I think. Could have squeezed more in but chose not to. Great decision
It's not good for the fingers getting between the seats which is why Arsenal need to make the seats slightly narrower but not too much.
Watching this video made me remember the first time i did the tour in fact it was my first time in London, and everyone asked me what is the first thing you want to do when you go to London and i said i have to go to the Emirates and they were stunned and i did it and of all the places i have seen in England this is the best place to be
Superb again mate. Frequent uploads getting me through the week 😅
Cheers shaun! Lots more coming soon!
Brilliant video, really enjoyed that and am a new subscriber too. Big Arsenal fan 👍
“Tours are well over £25” proceeds to tell us it’s £27, didn’t realise £2 was well over £25 😂
just enjoy the video bro
Pedantic
Talking live to thousands and makes a tiny mistake before someone jumps on it. You’re class man
I’ve visited Emirates stadium and I have to say it was a great experience, an amazing stadium. I will be visiting London in may and looking forward to know spurs stadium. greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷.
It’s a great stadium 🏟 I loved the tour with Perry.
Did a tour with Perry and Charlie George, both were really good
Highbury was a beautiful stadium with 2 stands dating back to the 1930s. The Emirates is just a soulless corporate bowl.
They moved there to compete with the likes of Bayern Munich, now they can’t even compete with Leicester City.
Atmosphere is rubbish though
@@ramwinter2622 Just beat Leicester 2-0 comfortably
Perry Groves?
My club❤️🤍 I love visiting. The area is amazing, the staff are amazing and it’s just a great place to be. COYG!
Great editing mate, loved this video ❤️
Glad to hear you enjoyed it mate, thanks very much for watching. More coming soon!!
I'm just so in love with this club, Arsenal FC for life!!!

I was pulled in by the title ‘This Stadium Needs Improvement’ but unless I missed something, the only improvements needed were the peeling logos and fading chairs? I’d say that’s pretty good! Enjoyed the video, though.
I have been to Arsenal stadium it is amazing
Your editing is fantastic. Such enjoyable videos. ☝️☝️☝️
1:16 literally brilliant editing
Thanks Ryan! Much appreciated, got the Chelsea video to come next!
first time watching one of your vids, immensely impressed with the editing!
Anyone who has done the stadium tour of Benfica's ground will know it's almost identical to the Emirates.
same architect :)
Benfica’s stadium 🏟 is much better and came first.arsenal just copied there’s.
@@section5760 u sound salty lmao
@@section5760 the same architect built it, Arsenal didn't copy it he used his own style
Same architect's
I've been in the "corporate" tier on four occasions and (in my view) this is easily the best Premiership stadium for comfort and catering plus the transport links are decent. Almost too civilised for football!
I'm an arsenal fan. Tottenhams stadium and hospitality pisses all over ours. Ours is the second best lol.
@@crow1989 I've not been to the new Spurs ground yet and neither have I been lucky enough to try the hospitality at my own club's ground (West Ham). I did get invited to a box a couple of times at the old White Hart Lane and it was good, but not as well organised as Arsenal's.
@@Lakesider52 ah fair play! Hopefully you can get a chance to experience your clubs hospitality too 👌🏾
The yids ground is the best in the premiership
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your smashing the videos Sam he’s on the road again 😁😁
Great video did the tour last year in March with Charlie George been a supporter since 1971.Yes you need to do a Highbury one its very close to the Emirates.
I seen that Arsenal's match day hospitality makes more money then the whole of Highbury per game. So it shows the be financially successful, we had to move.
Well no. Because we clearly weren't in the position to move and continue doing what we were doing. Look at atletico and how they moved. Did it correctly. Do brilliant business. We have an appalling infrastructure and aren't even in Europe yet charge the highest ticket prices in the WORLD for a football match. Disgusting.
@@crow1989 if we didn't move, we wouldn't have the funds we have today. Couldn't spend £72m on Pepe, £50m on Ben White. Those extra seats brought alot of revenue and sponsorship to the club. Chelsea would be the same without Romans funds.
@@doitcom no not exactly. Look at Chelsea's stadium. Look at anfield. If we continued to win silverware, like the league and challenging in the champions League, we would make a lot of money. Winning generates money. Winning leagues and champions leagues gets you money. Hell just qualifying for the champions League is worth 100 million by itself. You can see where I'm going with this. Yes a move eventually would have been great but we executed it abysmally.
Also. That 72 million was a severely inflated price considering they were trying to offload him for 40 a season earlier. Same for Ben White. Could turn out great but we overpaid. We do rubbish business, it's not hard to see but hopefully we can learn and grow 🤷♂️
This is true but with a big caveat. At the point the decision to move was made match day income made up around 20-30% of Arsenals revenue. Since the move and the huge boost in TV money it now plays a smaller %. This is what teams like Spuds benefitted from where they could rebuild the squad and other infrastructure which we could not.
The time will come for the other clubs to rebuild but they will be able to support it in others which we could not.
Not an Arsenal fan but really enjoyed that, loving your stadium tours👍
Just found your channel awesome videos love these stadium tour videos
🙌🙌🙌
What worst stadium u been to mine Crewe
The biggest and most important club in London. This club shall rise again. 🔴⚪
Not the most important club in London . Shit club and a rubbish ground
Charlton athletic are much better let's be honest
Yes but unfortunately that will only happen when Arsenal get relegated to The Championship & then rise again lol.
Chelsea , Chelsea.
Honestly dont think Arsenal have been quite the same club on the pitch since they moved from Highbury but a lot of that is down to
Sam Kronke in my view.
@@alanfox691 Chelsea and their plastic fanbase... 🤦🏻♂️
@@alanfox691 lol arent u the ones who got relegated haha u guys playing catch up don't get ahead of yourselves
Singaporean Arsenal fan here, found this channel from your visit to the stadium at Our Tampines Hub, home of the Rovers. My last visit to the Arsenal museum and stadium tour was over a decade ago on honeymoon so thanks for doing up this one. Hoping we add a bit more silverware soon to go with the new facade and players we have around the Emirates!
NAHHHH MATE ARSENAL IS THE BEST AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST CLUB IN THE WORLD CMONNNN YOU GOONERSSS
Comedian 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes I agree, just like the Tottenham stadium we need some more LED lights running in between the two balconies and all the way around We have a brand new stadium one of a coin and a little bit more lights would surely put us on top
amazing edit bro. really enoyed the video
Thank you very much!!!
Thanks so much for this - im an arsenal fan, traditionally stadiums in London were surrounded by houses....a reason they couldn develop Highbury. They converted it into flats...surprised you never mentioned a former player called Arteta; now our manager
Loved the London-esque music at the start of the vid. Small loan 🤣🤣
Great stadium. I did the tour with Perry Groves about 10 years ago
Really enjoying these videos. Great presenting and nice balanced view of each stadium and the tours. I visited the Emirates not long after it opened and was blown away by how good it was. Still think it is better than Wembley in terms of matchday experience, comfort and view. I understand the nostalgia for the old stadiums but most of the new ones are a huge leap in safety and comfort and some like the Emirates are a cut above the bog standard lego kit builds.
The gap in interest the Arsenal owner (Stan Kroenke) shows Arsenal is typified in the level of investment KSE has put in The Emirates (zero) and then compare that to the $5BN+ he has personally invested in the world's most expensive stadium in Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium and its state of the art 360 degree scoreboard) for his beloved LA Rams! SMH
Does Stan K know John W Henry?
Duh, Emirates was built before KSE became stakeholders.
@@highbury4life899 But they just spent £150m to buy players this season. No one can spend like the Saudis or Qataris.
@@highbury4life899 Wait for Elon Musk to buy Arsenal.
Stan is a carpetbagger, he's not a bit interested in the history of arsenal or the the fans...Did you know the great Herbert chapman played a whole season for spurs apparently the signing on fee was £70?
Great tour Sam my friend ❤️👍🏻
Brilliant tour Sam I really enjoyed that, I think you should consider doing more of these stadium tours. And remember to get a small loan from your bank 😂. Thanks again
Cheers Peter! The Chelsea tour will be out today!!
Alright Sam. Good to see you living the dream and taking an interest in the mighty Arse. Cheers. Andy V
Probably the best stadium i've visited in England when I visited about 6 years back. Far better than Anfield which you raved about.
Come to Spurs, it shits on the Arse stadium
@@joelspace Hopefully one day. I've been told it's the best stadium in Britain. The Emirates must be up there though and it's certainly better than Anfield or Old Trafford.
I’m live 15 minutes away from San Francisco California and the only tour I been to was Real Madrid tour in Bernabéu 2012 which is my favorite club and I was like a little kid looking at cleats and names in the hall of fame. Which I felt amazing seeing Hugo Sanchez name I’m Mexican. But after I finish school I wanna visit London with my brothers we want to feel that vibe of premier league weekend games just one of those life bucket list
I've delivered to a few football grounds in my HGV and the Emirates was the only one that you drive under the pitch to unload, it's huge down there.
Another great video 📹 👏 👍
And.. yes the one you know I'd be waiting for. The house that Arisen built! As always well done. Had I had the chance to be there I think I could have sat there just picturing favorite players/ games in my head. One day, someday I'll get that chance or at least that's the dream for this Yankee Gooner it's definitely on the ol bucket list. Thanks again Sam you made my day. Also any plans for an Ireland trip would love to see and learn about the Clubs there as I have very little knowledge about any of them.

Finally, someone that appreciates arsenal
As a Brighton fan I appreciated it a couple of weeks back.
At The Emirates video it was suggested Arsenal should have developed Highbury.
Expansion of Highbury wasn't allowed by the local authority and East and West stands were listed buildings. Given the proximity, The Emirates was a major boon to the club instead.
i visted here in october 2019 it was such a treat and i could smell the money.
Needs a clean, a few things replaced and a lick of paint, but what a lovely stadium.
Needs to close down / waste of space !
Great content from you, my advice is to include ratings for each stadium you have been to, in terms of history, location, Arts Culture, Accessibility, and Maintenance, etc. At the end of the videos give your pass mark.
I went to arsenal on Friday before I jumped on the train from the fcas. Mint ground
Love a self guided tour. My first stadium tour was Nou Camp which was self guided and I loved it, as long as you want to take photos etc.
Did you run on the pitch naked ?
Enjoyed this
I'll accept this content...
Right up the Arsenal.
Up the gunners!!
@@afcaestheticshorts I would say up man United but they are turning into you guys if they don’t sack ole
Great work!
Thank you!!
Hey Sam, love the channel only came across it last week. So getting to go through your videos now. just a bit of info you might like seen as your not long back from Ireland. The Emirates stadium is model on the GAA stadium Croke Park in Dublin. It has the same design only smaller capacity. I think you you might have visited Croker when you were in Dublin?
Really I heard from my cousin he went there once and he said it a world class venue and best ground he ever went to
That train transition 🥶
I was blown away with the Emirates
We were there for a tour Saturday morning last year. Thought it was superb.
Good thing they are renovating over the summer 😌😌🤝
9:42 goosebumps everywhere.COYG!!
One of the best stadium of the 🌎
I'd love to go there one day
Quality quality content
Have you ever thought about doing a stadium tour in America with some MLS clubs? Especially some of the newer ones with European designs and links to some soccer clubs in Europe. I think it might be a cool idea. Yup and I call it soccer I’ll never change lol your local Yank here lol!! I really loved seeing when you were at Fulham. Tons of American legends have played at Fulham. Dempsey, McBride, Bocanegra.
Not a couple of league titles, three at Huddersfield, in a row and I think that was repeated at Arsenal as well.
My favourite stadium 😍😍😍
Amazing bro.
Hopefully go over from Ireland soon and watch a game
I so wonder when this will happen.
Vaxxed sheep go ahead
Very good video, well done
The club bought up a number of houses at the South Bank end of rhe ground, but realised they could only increase the capacity by a few thousand. I loved the old ground, but the club had to move to meet demand. At least they didn't go through with trying to share the new Wembley stadium.
I was fortunate enough to see Arsenal play at Highbury during the stadium's final season; The view from my seat wasn't great, which was true for many seats in the stadium due to the steep sloping of the roof and upper tier. Aesthetically and in terms of amenities (or lack thereof), it felt like any other old school stadium in the country.
There's so much history wrapped up in Highbury but the club was in dire need of something bigger and more modern and redeveloping the existing stadium simply wasn't an option. The Emirates is a world class stadium and, now that it's approaching 20 years old, I appreciate that it feels more lived-in and "Arsenalised" than it did before. During the barren years between Arsenal moving to the Emirates and the 2014 FA Cup final ending the trophy drought, the Emirates definitely felt a bit soulless, like it could have belonged to any club (Benfica maybe?).
The Emirates is also Arsene Wenger's legacy. The impetus to build it wouldn't have existed without his taking Arsenal to new heights on the pitch and all the work he did off it. It's been overshadowed a bit now by the new Wembley and the Spurs toilet bowl and is probably in need of some renovations but it's still undoubtedly one of the best stadiums in the country.
You need to go on a Legend Tour around the stadium. Instead of worrying about the cost, view it as an experience. You also get to access more areas. I'm guessing you didn't make it to where they show off the gold Premiership trophy otherwise I'm sure that would've mad the cut?!?
We also did Arsenal and Chelsea tours successive days. Ours was self guided at Arsenal. Chelsea’s was guided
Bro you can just tap your contactless card (or Apple Watch) to use the tube - it figured out the right amount to charge you. No ticket required
“That just goes to show the difference between the two grounds” or price inflation in the last 16 years
the real pride of London cuz they have 13 premier league titles much more titles compared to other London teams
Premier League titles? Nah mate. 13 first div titles. 2 champions leagues in recent memory for Chelsea would indicate you’re more than a bit biased.
@@MCohen28 Arsenal have won more trophies than Chelsea. Fact.
Arsenal are winning this league?
Arsenal will win the league next year 2023/24
When comparing the price of Arsenal stadium to the price of Tottenham you need to allow for inflation!
Love the video
does the arsenal stadium post a class picture of where we could find Jeremy Lynch in?
How can you compare the price of the Arsenal Stadium when it was built all those years ago to a Tottenham ground that has just been built?!?!
The place is showing sighs of wear and tear in a way that Highbury never did
27 pounds a stadium tour, you would get a 3 course meal in Glasgow for that Sam 😂🤣
You could buy Glasgow for that, but why would you want to?
£27 is cheap. Living in London that's how much I'm expected to pay
@@RMetsy You should be able to watch a match for £27, not just see an empty stadium.

it just needs modernization yeah i agree its not old at just 16 years old however replacing the seating and a fresh paintjob would be a perfect start.
Briliant stadium. The negatives are just cosmetic.
It's a shit hole
Nothing wrong with our Beautiful stadium 🏟
Not as Good as Spurs stadium though.2006 last time Aresnal won the League.Not good enough for a Club the size of Arsenal .Need to get your act together on the pitch mate!
They forgot to build a home end get rid of the plush boxes from left to right in the North bank and make a big sloping stand from top to bottom that would be a real North Bank.
They literally just redone the home changing room after you uploaded the video
The place is small. Compared to malls in Indonesia. It's very small. Stadiums in Indonesia are also huge. Maybe because the London area is already full so the place is made in moderation. The most important thing is that the stadium can fit a lot.
Even #Mo #Salah is doing his running round the stadium @ 15:57 !
Holloway Road tube is closed before games on matchdays, use arsenal, Finsbury Park or highbury and Islington stations
I would love to see the stadium grow to a minimum attendance of 70.000
