Bramall Lane, the oldest major football stadium in the world. It was originally a cricket ground but Sheffield FC, the team whose current ground I passed earlier, played here in the 19th century. The first ever game between two football clubs was played here in 1862. The first ever floodlit match was played here in 1878, although the first competitive floodlit match was in Mansfield. The ground's current capacity is 32702 and its record attendance 68287. Today's attendance would be 23031. The building in front of the stadium is my hotel.
