Description: Reebok Stadium is a modern, all-seated stadium with a capacity of 28,723, that was built 11 years ago. The stadium has 4 stands named: The Bolton News Stand at one end, the Woodford Group at the other end, the West Stand at one side of the Pitch and the Nat Lofthouse at the other side of the pitch.
Brief History: The stadium was completed in 1997 and Bolton Wanderers moved here from their old stadium, Burnden Park. The move wasn’t too appreciated by Bolton fans because the stadium was built out of town and fans were still attached to their old stadium, where the team had several successes. Another thing that the fans didn’t like was the stadium’s name. The stadium was named after long time sponsor, Reebok, but this wasn’t really popular for the fans. In addition to hosting football games, the stadium also offers services such as hotel and function rooms. The stadium has been also used to host concerts for several famous artists and it has hosted a Great Britain rugby league internationals, darts championships and boxing matches.
