Selhurst Park is Crystal Palace's compact south London ground. Designed by Archibald Leitch and built for £30,000, it has been home to Palace since 1924 and is one of the smallest grounds in the Premier League. The closeness of the stands is a big part of the atmosphere.
History of Selhurst Park
Selhurst Park opened on 30 August 1924. Charlton Athletic shared it from 1985 to 1991 and Wimbledon from 1991 to 2003. The record crowd is 51,482, set in a Second Division promotion game against Burnley in 1979.
A new three-tier Main Stand, adding roughly 13,500 seats and taking the ground to about 34,000, has been approved and work has started.
