History

St Mary's Stadium is a seated football stadium in Southampton, Hampshire, England. Since 2001, it has served as the home venue of EFL Championship club Southampton, following their move from The Dell. The stadium has a capacity of 32,384 and is currently the largest football stadium in South East England. The Taylor Report on 29 January 1990 required all First and Second Division clubs to have all-seater stadiums by August 1994, Southampton's directors initially decided to upgrade The Dell into an all-seater stadium (which was completed in 1993) but speculation about relocation continued, especially as an all-seater Dell had a capacity of just over 15,000; despite this, Southampton continued to defy the odds and survive in the new FA Premier League after 1992.
