\"Oakwell<\/p>\n

Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Barnsley FC | Opening: 1888 | Capacity: 23,287 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

Oakwell Stadium was built in 1888. It got extensively redeveloped in the 1990s, with only the original main stand from the early 20th century left standing.<\/p>\n

First, a new East Stand got built in 1993, followed by a new South Stand in 1995. Works were completed with a new North Stand in 1999.<\/p>\n

In recent years, plans have been made to replace the old main stand with a new modern all-seater stand, but it is unlikely that these will get realised in the upcoming years.<\/p>\n
