Jones, Tom Spinner, Marc Craine, Mark Lee, Christopher Architects for Emirates Stadium.
Emirates Stadium is a football stadium in London, England, that is primarily used for matches of Arsenal FC. It is the new home of the club and opened on 15 September 2006. The stadium cost £390 million to build and has been described as "the world's most expensive pint" due to its price tag. It is also known as the Great Arsenal Wall after the company that built it demanded such high standards that they called for the removal of all fences from sports facilities.
The stadium was designed by British architect David Jones with assistance from American architects Peter Cook and Brian Gales. It is located on the banks of the River Thames near the Olympic Park and next to the existing Highbury Stadium which will be demolished.
Emirates Airlines sponsored the design process by providing materials and equipment for use during construction. The airline also has an office at the stadium that serves as their headquarters while London Heathrow Airport is being redeveloped.
Jones wanted to create a modern stadium that would fit in well with the surrounding area but still have a traditional look.
Architects: Rod Sheard, Philip Johnson, London Stadium Authority.
The stadium is part of the London Olympics project, which also includes the Olympic Park and several other sports facilities. It was built at a cost of $440 million to host football matches and events during the Games. The stadium has received positive reviews from critics who have seen it during its construction phase.
The stadium is located in East London within walking distance of Canning Town station. It replaces the old Wembley Stadium as the main Olympic stadium. The new venue can hold 75,000 people and opened on July 27, 2011. It is the first British stadium to be built since Manchester's Etihad Stadium (2005).
Wembley Stadium was built for the 1960 Olympics but had to be demolished after that event ended. The new stadium has been praised for its architecture and design, with some commentators calling it the best football stadium in Europe.
It is believed that English architect Sir David Beckham helped choose its design by following football games around the world and noting what teams' stadiums were like. He then took his observations back to England where he worked with engineers to come up with the idea for this new stadium.
The stadium is completed with two enormous video displays that look great and are located below the roof line in the North West and South East corners. There are bronze sculptures of former manager Herbert Chapman and former players Tony Adams, Dennis Bergkamp, and Thierry Henry outside the Emirates Stadium.
The three statues stand in front of the main entrance to the stadium on Ashburton Grove. The location is visible from The Highway and from The Avenue.
Statues are also placed on Highbury Fields and The Crematorium behind the North Bank.

They also have a large investment company that deals with mergers and acquisitions.
Emirates Stadium was built as BC Place and opened its doors in 2015. It used to be called Rogers Arena until February 2019 when it changed its name in order to tie up with Dubai-based airline Emirates.
The Emirates Venue offered a new home for Arsenal, who had outgrown their former stadium at Highbury. The initiative improved the local economy by awarding PS2.2 million in supply and construction contracts to local firms. The program is also credited with the creation of 1,800 long-term jobs. The stadium's construction aided in the redevelopment of the neighborhood.
Emirates, who have been a club partner since the team relocated to its new stadium in 2006, will continue to display its airline moniker "Fly Emirates" on the squad's official match jerseys and training kit. The stadium's name will remain Emirates Stadium until at least 2028.
"Emirates has once again demonstrated its strong conviction in our strategy and vision, and their considerably expanded investment will enable us to contend for trophies and deliver more success to the club and our supporters across the world." Emirates is an excellent partner for Arsenal, as it is a world-class brand with really worldwide reach.
