Portman Road has been Ipswich Town's home since 1884, making it one of the oldest football grounds in England still used by the same club.
With a capacity of 29,673, the Suffolk stadium has witnessed more than 140 years of football, including Ipswich's most successful eras under Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson.
Here, FootballGroundGuide looks at Portman Road through the numbers that tell its story.

The all-time attendance record was set on 8th March 1975, when Ipswich drew 0-0 with Leeds United in the FA Cup sixth round.
The modern all-seater record stands at 30,152, recorded against Norwich City in December 2003, when the stadium's capacity configuration differed from today's.
Portman Road's history and redevelopment numbers
Portman Road has developed considerably since its early days, with major improvements including the rebuilding of the Cobbold Stand in 1971 and the redevelopment of the North Stand and Sir Bobby Robson Stand around 2001-02.
The Sir Bobby Robson Stand cost approximately £25m and added around 7,500 seats as part of a wider redevelopment programme costing approximately £22m.
The ground now comprises four main stands: the Sir Bobby Robson Stand, Cobbold Stand, Sir Alf Ramsey Stand and West Stand.
One unusual feature is the pitch dimensions. At 102m long and 75m wide, Portman Road's playing surface is wider than the standard 105m x 68m footprint used at many Premier League grounds.
Despite its long history, Portman Road has never sold its stadium naming rights, retaining its traditional identity throughout Ipswich Town's rise from the lower leagues to the top flight.
Portman Road ticket prices by the numbers
For the 2026/27 Premier League season, Ipswich Town have frozen matchday ticket prices, with fixtures divided into two grades. Adult lower-tier tickets cost £38 for Grade A matches, and £34 for Grade B matches, although prices vary by stand and seating area.
Adult season-ticket renewals have increased for 2026/27, with prices varying by location. Reported examples range from £469 for a lower-tier seat behind the goal to £747 for an upper-tier West Stand seat on the halfway line.
