Bramall Lane Stadium, in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, is the home of Sheffield United Football Club and Sheffield Eagles rugby league team. It is the oldest major stadium in the world still to be hosting professional football matches. The stadium was built on a Sheffield road named after the Bramall family (who were file and graver manufacturers). The Bramalls owned "The Old White House" on the corner of Bramall Lane and Cherry Street, and subsequently built the Sheaf House, now a public house that still stands at the top of Bramall Lane. The stadium was originally opened as a cricket ground. It was also used for football games in the 19th century by Sheffield F.C. and Sheffield Wednesday but since 1889 it has been the home of Sheffield United. #Football #rugby #Sheffield #Soccer #south #Stadium #UK #yorkshire
