Molineux Stadium, Football stadium in Wolverhampton, England
Molineux Stadium is an association football venue in Wolverhampton, England, home to Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. The four stands frame the pitch, with the Stan Cullis Stand on the north side and the Billy Wright Stand opposite forming the main spectator areas.
The ground was established in 1889 as the first venue purpose-built for a Football League club. After heavy damage during the Second World War, extensive reconstruction followed, and further modernizations in the 1990s and 2010s shaped the current facility.
The stadium takes its name from a nearby estate once occupied by Benjamin Molineux, an 18th-century local merchant. When the Wolves team enters the pitch today, fans commonly sing 'Hi Ho Wolverhampton,' a chant that echoes throughout the stands.
The capacity stands at roughly 30,850 seats, with sections for away supporters and press facilities in the southwest corner. Visitors will find restrooms and refreshment stalls on all levels, with entry gates distributed around the perimeter.
In the 1950s, the club introduced friendly matches under floodlights against major European sides, widely regarded as forerunners of the later European Cup. The Wolves Museum within the ground displays jerseys and equipment from that pioneering era.
