Morecambe

Globe Arena is one of the most modern and refreshing stadiums in the Football League. It has been the home of Morecambe Football Club since it opened in 2010 and is state of the art for a ground in one of the lower leagues. It can hold up to 6,476 supporters, though it has yet to be pushed to its full capacity. The ground replaced Morecambe’s much loved home, Christie Park. The Shrimps played there for just shy of 90 years and enjoyed some incredible times at the ground, but it was showing its age by 2010 and a new stadium was much needed. The ground was supposed to open with a showpiece friendly against Bolton Wanderers on the 28th of July 2010 but the opening was delayed because of problems putting the finishing touches to the stadium.
