Molineux Stadium stands in Wolverhampton, in the West Midlands of England, and is the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. With a capacity of approximately 32,000, it is a large ground that gives visitors a real sense of the atmosphere on a match day.
A ground with a long history
The stadium opened in 1889 and is counted among the oldest purpose-built football stadiums in England. That age is part of its appeal for anyone interested in the game's development, since it has hosted football for well over a century and remains a significant venue in English football history.
What to expect as a visitor
- Match days are the most lively time to visit, when the crowd fills the ground and the club's supporters bring the stadium to life.
- The setting is an urban one, so it suits a visit that combines football with time in the city centre.
- Its scale makes it a good choice for anyone who wants to see a large English football ground rather than a small local pitch.
Around the stadium
Wolverhampton is a city with its own character, and a trip to Molineux can easily be paired with exploring the wider area. Check the club's arrangements before you travel, as access on match days and the availability of visits outside fixtures can vary.
