Villa Park – Venue Information

History of The Stadium

Aston Villa is considered the ninth biggest stadium in the UK and has been home to Aston Villa since 1897, though the stadium itself was founded in 1874. In the year of 1897, Aston Villa won their third First Division League title at their new home.

Villa Park has hosted 16 international fixtures and was the first grounds to stage international football in three different centuries. Villa Park was also the regular venue for the FA Cup and have hosted 55 FA Cup Semi-Final matches.

The stadium itself is unique in design and speaks volumes about its ripe history, with its different shaped stands. The Holte End is double-deckered, the beloved Trinity Road three-tiered and extending out over the road outside, the double-decker Doug Ellis standstill impresses, and then the North Stand, which stands by itself and is often reserved for away fans.

The stadium has hosted Premier League, Cup and Championship games but is more renowned for its beautiful grounds and unique atmosphere.

Villa are one of the only football teams that have played in every single Premier League season! The other six teams are Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton Liverpool and Manchester United.

Back in 1930/31, they achieved a record of 128 goals during a season and that achievement still stands the record for the most goals to be scored in a single season! In addition to this, Villa Park has hosted more FA Cup semi-finals than any other football club.

Structure and facilities

Villa Park has a capacity of 42,785 seats and consists of four stands. These four stands are known as The Holte End (to the south), The Trinity Road Stand (to the west), The Doug Ellis Stand (opposite The Trinity Road Stand) and The North Stand (which is behind the northern goal). All of the stands at Villa Park include two tiers except Trinity Road Stand which includes three.

The Holte End Stand

The Holte End Stand is situated at the south end of the stadium and comprises two tiers. The two tiers in the stand are slightly curved to ensure that all supporters have the best possible view of the matchday action.

The Trinity Road Stand

The Trinity Road Stand is the newest stand at Villa Park. The stand was completed in 2000 and includes the dressing rooms, club offices and the director’s boxes. This stand is the only stand out of four, which includes three-tier seating with an additional row added for executive boxes.

The North Stand

The North Stand, which was formerly known as The Witton End, is the oldest stand at Villa Park (completed in 1977). The stand consists of two tiers, with an additional row for executive boxes. Away fans are usually located in the bottom area of The North Stand as it is believed to create a better atmosphere.

The Doug Ellis Stand

The Doug Ellis Stand was formally known as The Witton End Stand. It is a two-tiered stand that includes a row of executive boxes between the tiers. The stand was initially supposed to be constructed the same as The Holte End and The North End stands (with the goalpost roof structure); however, the roof was changed to a cantilever design.

Villa Park has hosted a variety of events, including concerts, athletic competitions, weddings, Christmas parties, conferences, meetings, banquets, and dinners. Music stars such as Bruce Springsteen, Barry White, Duran Duran, Take That, and Bon Jovi have graced Villa Park.

What makes Villa Park special?

Villa Park is a special football stadium for several reasons, having also been the home of Aston Villa since 1897. The most famous part of the ground is, of course, the iconic Holte End, which in the past was the largest terrace behind the goal in Europe, with a capacity of 30,000 – this was in the days when standing at football matches in the UK was the norm, rather than the seated stadia of modern times.

It is also one of the few stadiums in the country that features a more traditional design, which is preferred by some over the more modern stadia. It is also famous for its incredible atmosphere, especially on European matchdays.

It has also hosted a number of non-football events, like concerts and rugby matches. It has recently hosted concerts from the likes of P!NK, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, as well as Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell ‘Back to the Beginning’ concert back in July 2025.

Villa Park was also the host of the World Supercross Championship’s British Grand Prix back in July 2023.

Villa Park is also one of the stadiums that will host matches in the 2028 UEFA European Championships, which will be hosted by England, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
