Carrow Road
Carrow Road is the home ground of Norwich City FC. The stadium has a capacity of 27,010 seats.
In the 1930s the club played its matches at a ground called “The Nest”, however it had limited capacity and in 1935 failed to meet FA safety requirements. A few weeks before the start of the new season the club found a new site, and built a stadium in just 82 days.
The stadium opened on the 31st of August 1935 with a Second Division match against West Ham United (4-3). The stadium back then consisted of open terraces on three sides and one covered stand. The ground could hold about 38,000 spectators.
Carrow Road recorded its highest attendance in 1963 when 43,984 fans visited an FA Cup match between Norwich and Leicester City.
During the 80s, two out of four stands were rebuilt, but due to safety measures and increased seating capacity the overall capacity of the stadium got reduced to about 28,000.
The conversion of the stadium into an all-seater was completed in the 1990s. In 2003 the South Stand got replaced by a single tier stand with cantilever roof, renamed the Jarrold Stand. The Jarrold Stand got further extended in 2005 by the closing of the corner with the Peterborough Stand.
