Villa Park Stadium Information
In the late 19th century, Villa Park was part of a pleasure ground that consisted of a football and cricket pitch, athletics track, and a small grandstand. Aston Villa at that time still played their home matches at the Perry Barr ground, but in 1897 moved to the superior Villa Park.
Before they moved in, they had already built a new main stand and accompanied this with open terracing on the remaining sides. The stadium was bowl-shaped back then, and could hold about 40,000 people.

Villa Stadium Guide
Villa Park is located in a typical English urban area. This means that there are a few pubs around as well as some easy eating options, though if you have more time on your hands, Birmingham’s city centre might be a better option.
If you arrive by car, you could stop at the Star City shopping centre just off exit 6 of the M6. It has the typical food outlets you tend to find at a shopping centre as well as various entertainment options. The nightlife in Birmingham’s city centre is mostly located west and south of Birmingham New Street Station.
There are few hotels in the immediate vicinity of the stadium. The Holiday Inn Express located across Star City shopping centre is probably closest, but is mostly convenient if you get in by car.
You can about just walk to the stadium from there.
Further toward the centre, there are a Campanile Hotel and Premier Inn. They are affordable and get good reviews, but are again most of all convenient for those arriving by car.
If travelling by public transport, it is likely best to find a hotel in Birmingham’s centre, and take a bus or train to the match.
