Stadium No. 2: Stamford Bridge

This is the second stadium on my 4-part Stadium series, Stamford Bridge. Stamford Bridge is home to my other favorite football team Chelsea! History In 1876, Stamford Bridge began construction as the home of now-defunct London Athletics Club until 1904.

After the Athletics Club's liquidation in 1904, the stadium were sold to brothers Joseph and Augustus Mears to turn it into a football stadium. The Mears brothers persuaded Fulham to move to Stamford Bridge from their Craven Cottage stadium, but they decided against it. Because of this, they founded their football team called Chelsea FC. Future On October 3, 2011, after rumours speculations claimed that Chelsea has plans to renovate Stamford Bridge, Chelsea confirmed that they planning to buy back the stadium from the fan-owned Chelsea Pitch Owners so that they can.

Image
This is the first of my 10 blog posts of football stadiums. For the first one, I have picked the stadium of my favorite football team in my native country, Portugal - S.L. Benfica. Estádio da Luz When S.L. Benfica planned a new stadium far away from the stadium of rivals Sporting Lisbon after Estádio do Campo Grande was planned for demolition in 1954, the fans were very pleased about it after becoming furious of the Campo Grande stadium. PICTURE: The Estádio da Luz, dated from the 1990s prior to the renovations. The stadium was renovated in 2002 to remove 90% of the materials because the stadium began to crumble, so S.L. Benfica decided to rebuild the stadium. Because of this Benfica moved to the national stadium of Portugal for a while.  The stadium reopened in November 2003 and it has becomes a fan favourite from supporters. The stadium has hosted some of Portugal's matches.
