Ayresome Park

Ayresome Park was a football stadium in the Ayresome area of Middlesbrough, England, serving as the home ground of Middlesbrough F.C. from its opening in 1903 until 1995. The ground hosted league matches, high-attendance domestic fixtures and three 1966 FIFA World Cup games. It was closed in 1995, demolished in 1997 and the site redeveloped for housing and a park.

As it stood in 1966

What Ayresome Park looked like in its prime.

A compact, early-20th-century rectangular football ground dominated by a long covered main stand with an arched gable and a raised corrugated-metal roof, lower open terraces around the other sides, and brick pavilion buildings tucked behind the stands. The playing surface is a closely mown rectangular grass pitch edged by low advertising hoardings. Tall steel floodlight pylons rise at the corners. Spectator terraces are layered concrete steps and rails, giving a dense band of standing crowd around the pitch.
