London Stadium
Top 6 in Top 10 Biggest Stadiums In The UK
The history of the London Stadium is brief yet fascinating. London Stadium was built expressly for the summer Olympics when London was the host city in 2012, and it is now owned by West Ham United and serves as the successor to their old stadium. Known for most of its existence as Upton Park but suddenly becoming The Boleyn Ground just as the Hammers were preparing to leave it, the move to the Olympic Stadium has unquestionably helped West Ham improve their game as far as their home ground is concerned.
London Stadium was the "jewel in the crown" of the Olympics, not least because it hosted "The Greatest Show On Earth's" opening ceremony. The event, directed by Danny Boyle, was a remarkable examination of all that is wonderful about the United Kingdom. In addition to football, the stadium has hosted cricket, American football, baseball, and motor racing.
