The Swansea Stadium officially opened in front of over 12,000 spectators on 23 July 2005 when Swansea City, newly relocated from the Vetch Field which had been their home since their Formation (as Swansea Town) in 1912, hosted Fulham in a Friendly match; a quite bizarre choice of opponent for a grand opening event. The first competitive fixture at the ground was a League One match against Tranmere, a match which was won by the hosts 1-0 with 16,733 in attendance.
The initial capacity of the stadium was 20,532, though this has since been increase to 21,088. The record attendance was set on 1 May 2016 when 20,972 witnessed the Swans beat Liverpool by three goals to one in a Premier League fixture.
