Molineux Stadium

Molineux Stadium is a famous football stadium located in Wolverhampton, England. It is the home ground for the Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., a well-known football team. The stadium was built and opened in 1889, making it a very old and historic place for sports.

Molineux Stadium can hold about 31,700 people. This means many fans can come and watch exciting football matches. Sometimes, a few seats in one part of the stadium (the Stan Cullis stand) have a slightly blocked view because of another stand's roof. These seats are usually not sold.

This stadium has also been chosen for important international matches. The England national team has played here, and more recently, the England under-21 team has used it. Molineux Stadium even hosted a big European final, the UEFA Cup Final, in 1972.
