It has become increasingly difficult to deny that, in recent years, the Premier League has become the number-one league in world football. Whether that's on a pure quality basis or for the entertainment factor, the English top flight has flourished over the last decade.
Something else that makes the league so great is the stadiums within it. Whether it's Manchester United's Old Trafford, Liverpool's Anfield or Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, the grounds in this country are the best they have ever been.
With that in mind, we here at Football FanCast have created a list looking at the capacity of every ground in the top flight, with data from Statista.
20 Kenilworth Road – Luton Town
Capacity: 10,265
Kicking off the list, unsurprisingly, is one of the new boys this season, Luton Town.
The Hatters play their games at Kenilworth Road and have done so ever since its construction back in 1905. The stadium got its name from one of the roads that run along one end of it.
The Kenny, as it is sometimes known, is the smallest ground the Premier League has seen, although the fans will be hoping the intimacy might help them pick up a few shock wins this year.
19 Vitality Stadium – Bournemouth
Capacity: 11,307
Up next is Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium, which, prior to Luton's promotion, was the smallest ground in the league.
The Vitality has been the home of the Cherries since its construction in 1910 when the club were known as Boscombe FC. The ground also used to have a different name, being called Dean Court for most of its existence, after the Cooper-Dean family who sold the club the land in which they built their home.
18 Gtech Community Stadium – Brentford
Capacity: 17,250
We see a bit of a jump in capacity from 19th to 18th place, as Brentford's new Brentford Community Stadium is the next ground on our list.
The stadium opened in 2020 and has hosted the Bees' home games ever since, as well as the odd international for good measure.
There were initially plans to include a futuristic monorail with the new stadium that would take people from Hounslow to the ground, but this was later scrapped due to rising costs – it would have been cool, though.
17 Turf Moor – Burnley
Capacity: 21,744
We're heading north for the next stadium on our list, and it's Burnley's Turf Moor, which comfortably beats out Brentford for capacity.
The ground has been home to the Clarets since 1883, and this makes it the second oldest continuously used ground in English football, behind only Preston North End's Deepdale.
In the Sean Dyche days, Turf Moor was widely considered one of the most challenging grounds to travel to in the Premier League due to its hostile atmosphere and ability to facilitate upsets. That aspect of the ground seems to have faded somewhat under Vincent Kompany, but fans will be hoping it soon returns and helps them avoid relegation.
16 Craven Cottage – Fulham
Capacity: 24,500
Fulham's Craven Cottage has perhaps the most interesting history of any ground in the Premier League.
The first thing built on the area that now houses the stadium was, in fact, a cottage built by William Craven, the sixth Baron Craven. The cottage stood on what were hunting grounds and housed countless wealthy individuals for over 100 years until it burnt down in 1888.
Following the fire, Fulham moved in and have been there ever since. The club even built a cottage in the corner of the ground, in which players get changed, and their families can watch the game from the balcony.
15 Selhurst Park – Crystal Palace
Capacity: 25,486
Selhurst Park, opened in 1924, has been the home of Crystal Palace for its entire existence.
However, the Eagles haven't been the only professional club to call the ground home, as Charlton Athletic played their home games at the stadium between 1985 and 1991.
Once Charlton left, Wimbledon came in to take their place and used the ground from 1991 to 2003.
14 City Ground – Nottingham Forest
Capacity: 30,404
We have reached the first 30,000-seater stadium on our list, and it's Nottingham Forest's City Ground.
The Tricky Trees moved to the ground in September 1898 and have been there ever since bar a six-game period in 1968 in which they had to play at the nearby Meadow Lane following a fire that totally destroyed the City Ground's Main Stand.
Interestingly, the club decided to name the stadium what they did in celebration of Nottingham's newfound city status when they first moved in.
13 Molineux – Wolves
Capacity: 31,750
Molineux stadium has been the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers since they moved in back in 1889.
The name comes from the Molineux family, who first bought the land in 1744 and proceeded to build a house and then a hotel on the grounds. The area was then turned into a leisure centre before finally coming into the ownership of the football team in 1899.
It was also used to host the first-ever UEFA Cup.
12 American Express Stadium – Brighton & Hove Albion
Capacity: 31,846
Brighton & Hove Albion's American Express Stadium, or the AMEX, was built in 2011 and has been the home of the Seagulls ever since.
Known to local fans as the Falmer Stadium, it has hosted several other sporting events, such as games for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
The ground hosted its first European game this season as Brighton played AEK Athens in the UEFA Europa League.
11 Bramall Lane – Sheffield United
Capacity: 32,050
Sheffield United's Bramall Lane has been the team's home ever since its formation in 1889.
The stadium is one of the oldest in the country that has continuously housed the same team, although before the formation of the Blades, Bramall Lane used to host city rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
Interestingly, the stadium was a cricket ground before football took over and was even used for several international Test matches between England and Australia.
