The Premier League 23/24 season has provided fans with many unforgettable moments, including Manchester City’s record-breaking title.
In 2022/23, the average matchday attendance in the Premier League was just over 40,000 — the highest attendance since 2013/14. But which Premier League stadium is the most visited?
With this in mind, Ticketgum analysed social media metrics and Instagram location tags to uncover the most visited Premier League stadium.
Key findings:
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the most visited stadium in the Premier League, with a combined total of 156,100 location tags.
Everton’s Goodison Park places second with 107,700 location tags.
Brighton and Hove Albion’s American Express Stadium is the least visited stadium in the Premier League, with just 2,000 location tags.
Ticketgum has revealled that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the most visited ground in the Premier League, with a combined total of 156,100 location hashtags on Instagram. This is 38% more location tags than North London rivals Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, which has 95,700 tags. After a £1.2 billion project in 2019, the newly constructed stadium was designed to cultivate an extraordinary atmosphere and is the largest Premier League stadium in London, with a capacity of 62,850. The stadium offers an intimate spectating experience, with stands angled at the steepest permissible slope to bring fans closer to the pitch, and optimised acoustics in collaboration with U2 sound engineers to amplify the roar of the crowd.
In second place is Everton’s Goodison Park, with 107,700 combined location tags on Instagram. This is 78% more tags than rival Liverpool FC’s Anfield Stadium, which has 23,400 tags. Everton has announced they have one season left at Goodison Park (24/25) before moving to Bramley-Moore Dock — a new stadium currently under construction — meaning fans should seize the opportunity to watch their club play at the iconic stadium while they still can. Goodison Park was the first major football stadium built in England, with its historic architecture and rich heritage making it a beloved landmark for Everton fans and football enthusiasts alike.
Ranking third is Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, with 95,700 combined location tags. Described as "beautiful" and "intimidating" by architect Christopher Lee of Populous, the Emirates Stadium features a four-tiered bowl design with translucent polycarbonate roofing that covers the stands but not the pitch. Remarkably, Arsenal’s matchday revenue soared from £37.4 million at their old Highbury stadium to over £90 million at the Emirates Stadium, highlighting the impact of the revived stadium design. With a seating capacity exceeding 60,000, the Emirates is one of the largest stadiums in the Premier League.
Brighton and Hove Albion’s American Express Stadium is the least visited stadium in the Premier League according to geotag data, with just 2,000 location tags. The Amex Stadium opened in 2011 to replace the club’s previous temporary home, Withdean Stadium, having moved from the Goldstone some years before. The Amex Stadium started with 22,500 seats but has since grown to be the second-largest stadium in the South East, with a capacity of approximately 31,800.
