  Emirates Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emirates Stadium was designed by HOK Sport (who also designed the Telstra Stadium, the new Wembley Stadium, and the Estádio da Luz) and constructed by Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd.

Arsenal tube station is the closest for the northern portion of the stadium.

 Guardian Unlimited Football | News | Arsenal scores £3m from Emirates stadium deal
The concept of a sponsor being given naming rights to a stadium is fairly new to the UK but has been common practice in the US for some time, with companies paying up to £8m or £9m a year to have baseball and American football stadiums named after them.
The club finally secured the £357m needed to build the stadium back in February, and the increased capacity of the ground is seen as vital in boosting revenues to the levels required to compete financially with Premiership rivals Manchester United and Chelsea.
Emirates has sponsored Chelsea for the last three years but the club announced last week it would terminate the contract at the end of this season to look for a brand that would better fit its global aspirations.
