Stamford Bridge

Chelsea have only ever had one home ground, Stamford Bridge, where they have played since foundation. It was officially opened on 28 April 1877. For the first 28 years of his existence it was used exclusively by the London Athletics Club as an arena for athletics meetings and not at all for football. In 1904 the ground was acquired by the business man Gus Mears and his brother, J T Mears, who had previously acquired additional land with the aim of staging football matches on the now 51,000 m² Stamford Bridge was designed for the Mears family by the noted football architect Archibald Leitch. They offered the stadium to Fulham Football Club, but the offer was turned down. As a consequence, the owners decided to form their own football club to occupy their new ground. Most football clubs were founded first, and then sought grounds in which to play, but Chelsea were founded for Stamford Bridge. Since there was already a football club named Fulham in the borough, the founders decided to adopt the name of the adjacent borough of Chelsea for the new club.
