Which London stadium hosted its last top flight match on 10 May 2016?

The Boleyn Ground, often referred to as Upton Park, was a football stadium located in Upton Park, east London. From 1904 to 2016 it was the home of West Ham United, with their predecessors Thames Ironworks playing their home games at Hermit Road.

The stadium was also briefly used in the early 1990s by Charlton Athletic during their years of financial difficulty. The seating capacity of the ground at closure was 35,016. From the 2016–17 season, West Ham United will play their home games at the Olympic Stadium in nearby Stratford. The last first-class match played at the Boleyn Ground was on 10 May 2016, a 3–2 Premier League win against Manchester United.

The stadium is set to be demolished to make way for a new development.

As a West Ham supporter I've been in that ground dozens of times. I even stayed overnight once when they made one of the stands into a hotel.

By making way for a "new development" do they mean a huge Tesco and some flats? Being London it's probably expensive housing.

Alan B Mitchell, If you can't 'guess' or work out those two facts you really ought not to attempting a quiz!

One of the great away days I looked forward to, sadly the new ground lacks any of that atmosphere.I was at that game and the last FA Cup game ever there earlier in the season, also against Man.U.

terry seale, it shouldn't be an all American site either. But we get 90% of the questions from the Fabulous Three. I enjoyed this question, because the answer to it was the true name. Many people knew it as Upton Park as stated by SPG.
