The Emirates Stadium is a football (soccer) stadium, being built for Arsenal F.C. in Ashburton Grove, Islington, north London, England. It is scheduled to open in the summer of 2006, and will have a seated capacity of 60,000 spectators. The overall project cost for the construction of the stadium is £357 million [1].
Arsenal announced on October 5 2004 that the Emirates Stadium will be known as such for at least the first 15 years due to a £100m sponsorship deal with the Emirates airline company. The deal also includes Emirates to be the club's shirt sponsor for eight years, starting in the 2006-2007 season.
