For a competition as tense as the Premier League, having a great stadium atmosphere can be decisive in home games.
Manchester United stadium Old Trafford has the best atmosphere among the Premier League venues, according to a new survey.
The Red Devils have been playing at Old Trafford since 1910, with the stadium becoming a part of the club’s identity. This season, the Red Devils have lost only one league game on home soil, maintaining Old Trafford’s fantastic reputation.
In a survey conducted by Midnite, 20.46% of the voters selected Man Utd’s stadium as the venue with the best atmosphere.
United’s arch-rivals, Liverpool, sit second, with Anfield receiving 17.64% of the votes. The Reds’ crazy 7-0 win over Man Utd this season was just another testament to the stadium’s undeniable effect on Liverpool’s home record.
Arsenal‘s Emirates have received 11.49% of the votes, claiming the third spot on the ranking.
Many Arsenal fans still prefer the old Highbury Stadium to the fancy Emirates. But they might change their mind if the team’s new generation repeats the success story of Arsene Wenger’s Gunners.
