Halliwell Jones Stadium is a state-of-the-art purpose built rugby league stadium in Warrington, Cheshire. Halliwell Jones is a car dealer which holds the naming rights for the stadium. It is built on the former site of the Joseph Walker Brewery.
It is the home ground of the Warrington Wolves but has also staged major fixtures such as the Challenge Cup semi-final and the 2004 European Nations Final, as well as being a venue for Women's Euro 2005 in football.
Most recently, the Halliwell Jones Stadium hosted the National League Grand Finals' Day, where three Grand Finals were played on the same day (National League 3 Grand Final, National League 2 Qualifying Final and the National League 1 Grand Final).
It has been announced that Liverpool FC Reserves will play at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in 2007/08. Their first match played at the Stadium was on 2nd October 2007 against Sunderland infront of a crowd of 3,403.
The Stadium
It has four under cover stand of which two are seated and two terraced. The stadium was notable for bucking the common trend of modern stadia by including standing areas rather than being an all-seater stadium. It also has enormous pitch dimensions of 120 m x 74 m.
The official capacity of the stadium is 14,206, although this has been reduced to approximately 13,024 after the crowd problems that plagued the Stadium's opening match where Warrington took on the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in Super League IX. The match was a sell out and it was not deemed safe.
After Warrington's success in both the 2005 and 2006 Super League, plans are already under way to extend the new stadium. More hospitality boxes are to be installed into the North Stand above the existing hospitality boxes. The work is expected to start in November 2007 and be ready for Super League XIII There are no plans as of yet to increase the overall capacity of the stadium.
