Carrow Road is the football stadium of Norwich City Football Club who currently play in the Football League Championship. The team moved to Carrow Road following occupation of various other stadia from 1902. The ground capacity is 26,034.
Carrow Road was originally opened in 1935, and the record attendance for a home game at the stadium was 43,984 in 1963, well before all-seater stadia became mandatory for top division English football clubs. After recent expansions, the ground hosted a capacity all-seated crowd of 25,522 for a game against Manchester United on 9 April 2005, which was the highest for a considerable time.
The ground consists of four stands, the Barclay Stand, the Norwich and Peterborough Stand, the City Stand and the new Jarrold Stand to the south of the stadium, capacity 8,000. The club plan to carry out further work to the ground including building a second tier on the City Stand and also onto the new Jarrold stand in the future.
