Villa Park has been Aston Villa's home since 1897, in the grounds of a Jacobean house in Aston Park, and it has hosted more FA Cup semi-finals than any other stadium. The Holte End is one of English football's great home ends and was the largest end terrace in the country before it was seated. The entire North Stand is closed for the whole of 2026-27 while it is rebuilt from 6,537 to 12,516 seats, so the ground holds about 37,000 this season instead of its usual 43,205.
Villa Park's North Stand redevelopment is under construction and due to open for 2027-28. With the stand closed for the whole of 2026-27 the ground holds about 37,000 rather than its usual 43,205, and Aston Villa says the figure may still change slightly — so no precise number is claimed here.
With one end out of use, the choice this season narrows to three stands. The Holte End behind the south goal is two tiers and the loud one. The Trinity Road Stand along the touchline is the main side, three tiers, and the modern replacement for the famous 1922 pavilion facade. The Doug Ellis Stand faces it. Away support has moved for the season, so the map is not the map a returning visitor remembers — which is the practical reason to open the 3D view before booking anything here in 2026-27.
