Norwich City (#16)
Carrow Road – Capacity: 27,244
Carrow Road was built in 1935 after safety concerns necessitated a move from the prior ground (“The Nest”). Initial construction of the site took a mere 82 days featuring three terraced stands (which would later be converted to seats in 1975) and seated nearly 38,000 fans. The ground now has four stands (Regency, Barclay, Geoffrey Watling, and the Sound Stand) which were built in 1979, 1984, 1992, and 2004, respectively. The club has explored options for expanding the stadium, but significant costs have led to the team stating they would only consider expansion when they have become a fixture in the Premier League. An expansion estimate in the range of $30M has been identified to build an additional 7,000 seats.
