Since the inception of the Premier League, England's highest level of association football annual league tournament, 54 football stadiums have been used to host matches. The inaugural round of Premier League matches took place on 15 August 1992 with 11 clubs hosting the opening fixtures. Following the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989, the Taylor Report recommended the abolition of standing terraces by the start of the 1994–95 season, to be replaced by all-seater stadiums. However, following Fulham's promotion from Division 1 in the 2000–2001 season, terraces returned temporarily to the Premier League as The Football Association allowed the club extra time to complete renovations. The club were forced to play at Loftus Road after inadequate progress was made in converting Craven Cottage, but they returned to their home ground after building work was completed in time for the 2004–05 season. Burnley's Turf Moor stadium became the 50th Premier League stadium when it hosted Burnley's first ever home Premier League fixture, against champions Manchester United, on 19 August 2009. Bournemouth's Dean Court became the latest stadium to host a Premier League match, when they played their first ever home Premier League match against Aston Villa on 08 August 2015. Manchester United's Old Trafford is the biggest stadium in the Premier League, while AFC Bournemouth's Dean Court is the smallest. ==Stadiums== Stadiums listed in bold indicate that they are the home grounds of teams participating in the 2015–16 Premier League season, while those stadiums listed in ''italics'' have now been demolished. † ''For closed or demolished grounds, capacity is taken at closure.'' ‡ ''Currently in the process of, or scheduled to be developed.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Premier League stadiums」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
