Extra stadium info – Carrow Road Stadium
The Carrow Road Stadium, which is also used for concerts, was renovated several times. It became the largest sports venue by capacity in Norwich. Floodlights were erected at the stadium in 1956 and the costs nearly sent Norwich City FC into bankruptcy. The stadium’s record attendance was set in 1963, when 43,000 fans showed up for a football match between Norwich City and Leicester City. The home side lost the game.
