Best Premier League Stadiums in 2022
G'day tribe! Ahhh, it's been sleepless nights for me lately. A four month old going through sleep regression and World Cup games at 2am in the morning Aussie time. Well my little one is finally asleep for more than 30 minutes after rocking him in his pram for an hour. What a time for me to get writing!
The EPL will restart on the 26th December after the "disruption" that has been of the World Cup. What better way to get excited by taking a look around the grounds at the best Premier League stadiums in 2022.
Stadiums are the lifeblood of any club. Not only are they a place for players to play, or for fans to watch. Stadiums are a fortress to call home and also helps clubs to generate revenue. So, what's the best Premier League stadium in 2022? Let's take a look at the top ten.
10. The City of Manchester Stadium (Manchester City)
The City of Manchester Stadium, also known as Eastlands, or Etihad Stadium, has a capacity of 53,400 and is the fifth largest stadium in England.
Opened in 2002, it's one of the more modern stadiums in English football and replaced City's former ground Maine Road. The modern facilities are complemented by the stadium's sweeping roof and its innovative masts and cable stays.
The gameday atmosphere isn't as electrifying as other stadiums on this list but it's home to some of the greatest superstars in the world and one of the greatest Premier League strikers of all time Sergio Aguero.

9. Elland Road (Leeds United)
Elland Road is home to the fourth best football fans in England, Leeds United supporters.
Don't let Elland Road's capacity of under 38,000 - the 14th largest football stadium in England - fool you. Leeds United supporters are among the most raucous in England. Even while Leeds were in League One, Elland Road averaged crowds of over 24,000.
Leeds United has the highest percentage of local support in the Premier League and it shows. On match days, Elland Road is one of the most authentic and electrifying atmospheres making it one of the best Premier League stadiums.

8. Goodison Park (Everton FC)
Goodison Park is only 0.59 miles away from Liverpool's Anfield Stadium making the two grounds among the closest football stadiums in the UK.
The home of Everton since 1892, Goodison Park has a capacity of 39,414 and was the first major football stadium built in England. It's also hosted more top flight games than any other stadium in the country.
Goodison Park's age is starting to show with ageing but authentic facilities. One unique feature of the stadium is St Lukes
church which sits at one of the corners of the stadium.
It's only a matter of time before fans are going to farewell Goodison Park with a move to a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock set for 2024.
