Extra stadium info – Molineux Stadium

The Molineux Stadium became one of the first English stadiums with floodlights. The stadium’s record attendance was set in February 1939, when 61,000 people showed up for a match between tenants Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club and Liverpool Football Club. The Wolverhampton Wanderers football club, nicknamed Wolves, was founded in 1877 under a different name. They won the English football championship three times in the 1950s. The Wolves won their first domestic league title in 1954. They drew an average attendance of 36,000 in 21 home games during that league season. The Wolverhampton Wanderers became the first sports club from the city of Wolverhampton with a value of at least $100 million.
