History
Manchester’s population was growing, as well as reduced working hours. Since people had more time for fun activities, football began to grow in popularity. Thus, a football stadium big enough to host a large crowd was necessary, and the Old Trafford was born. The first game the stadium hosted was in February of 1910.
Location
A short drive from Manchester City Centre which is accessible by the Metrolink Tram system that runs every few minutes. Parking for Events is free. Access is simple with lifts available around the stadium.
