Pirelli Stadium is a multi-use stadium in Burton upon Trent, England. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Burton Albion F.C.. The stadium holds 6,500 and opened in 2005. The record crowd for the stadium stands at 6,191 when Manchester United visited the ground in an FA Cuptie in 2006. But after discussions the official capacity was raised to 6,500.

The Pirelli Stadium was built because the previous stadium Eton Park had become run down and had no money making schemes.^{[citation needed]}. The new Pirelli Stadium offers income 7 days of the week, with conference rooms throughout the main stand, with the largest holding 300 people. On match days there are 9 directors boxes available for supporters wanting a more relaxed view of the game. There are 4 bars, 1 on each side of the ground in which supporters can go for a drink before and during games.

One side of the ground "The Main Stand", is the only seated stand at the club and can hold just over 2000 supporters. The other three stands are terraced and are the favourites for most supporters.
