micmania1 is on a distinguished road
Default Arsenal - Emirates Stadium

Capacity: 60,432
Away Allocation: 3000
Address: Highbury House, 75 Drayton Park, London, N5 1BU

What's the ground like?
The emirates is a new stadium so as you can expect looks very modern. There are 3 bridges on 3 of the corners leading to the ground, as you can see in the image below:


There are 4 Arsenal badges - one on each corner of the stadium. These are lit up at night:


Once in the ground, the first thing you will notice is the seats (obviously). At the emirates, they aren't normal seats. They've went one step further, spent a few extra quid and got padded seats which are also much bigger than the average football ground seat. However, the size of the seat is a bit of a problem when somebody wants past. They're quite pointless if your support stands all game...

The other great thing about the emirates is, they have toilets outside the ground, which means you don't need to go in early if you've had a bit to drink. Genius!

Where to drink?
There is a pub over the south east bridge called Drayton Pub. If that is too full, there is another approximately 15minutes walk away near findsbury park. To find it, head towards Arsenal tube, away from the stadium, pass the tube station (unless you want to get the tube to Findsbury park in which you can do from you), until you reach blackstock road. Turn left, and follow the road until you see the pub.

What is it like for Away fans?
The away fans are positioned in the south east corner of the ground:

Beer is served in the away section as well as the usual variety of matchday food.

By Train
From Kings cross take the victoria line to Arsenal. You can also get the picadilly line to Findsbury park then a tube from Findsbury park to Arsenal or walk which takes about 15mins. An overground train also leaves from kings cross to findsbury park.

More information on trains, delays and line closures here.
