Middlesbrough Football Club in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, United Kingdom | Football

Welcome to the Middlesbrough Football Club, United Kingdom.

Built in only 32 weeks, the Riverside Stadium was the first stadium designed and constructed to comply with the Taylor Report.

Opened on August 26 1995, the capacity was amended to 34,988 in June 2008. The Football stadium represents a proud and bold statement of Middlesbrough Football Club's progressive thinking as well as its vision for the future.

Along with the Transporter and Newport bridges, the Riverside Stadium has become one of the landmarks of the Middlesbrough skyline, towering over the Tees, east of the city centre.

Long before work began on the magnificent Middlesbrough Football Club, Boro officials had been considering their options. Hemmed in by terraced housing, it was obvious that the only way to expand Ayresome Park was by building upwards, but the fact was that to have any hope of getting planning permission, they would have to limit themselves to a 20,000 capacity.

The Boro Brick Road leading from the gates allow supporters to be part of the Football stadium and form a popular meeting place before matches.
