History

About Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge opened on 28 April 1877. Initially used for athletics. In 1905, owner Gus Mears founded Chelsea Football Club specifically to play at the ground after Fulham declined to relocate. The ground predates Chelsea by 28 years. Multiple redevelopments followed: the East Stand (1973), West Stand (1997), Matthew Harding Stand (1994), and Shed End (1997). Plans for a major redevelopment to ~60,000 seats were paused by the club in 2018.
