About this place
History
The Gtech Community Stadium opened in 2020, ending Brentford FC’s 116-year stay at the historic Griffin Park. The move coincided with the club’s rise to the Premier League, providing facilities capable of supporting top-flight football. The stadium was built as part of a wider redevelopment project and also serves as the home of the London Irish rugby club during certain periods.
Architecture
The stadium has a capacity of around 17,250 spectators and features a compact, steep-sided bowl that keeps fans close to the pitch. Its modern design prioritizes sightlines and acoustics, helping create an intense atmosphere despite its relatively small size. Facilities include premium seating, hospitality lounges, and media areas that meet Premier League and international standards.
Location
The stadium is located in Brentford, west London, near Kew Bridge. It benefits from excellent transport links, including nearby rail stations and major road access, making it easily reachable from central London and surrounding areas. The site sits within a mixed-use development that blends residential, commercial, and sporting spaces.
What is Gtech?
The stadium takes its name from Gtech, a British technology company specializing in cordless home and garden appliances. The naming rights agreement reflects Brentford’s data-driven, modern identity and its partnerships with innovative UK-based brands.
