The stadium's name is derived from Benjamin Molineux, a local merchant who owned the land in the 18th century.
In 1953, Molineux was one of the first stadiums in the UK to install permanent floodlights.
The stadium site hosted the first-ever English Football League match played under floodlights in 1953 against South Africa.
The Steve Bull Stand is named after the club's record goalscorer, who scored 306 goals for the team.
Molineux was the venue for the first-ever UEFA Cup Final in 1972.
The stadium incorporates a statue of Billy Wright, the first footballer in the world to earn 100 international caps.
The Stan Cullis Stand features a large, iconic screen often used for pre-match fan displays.
The stadium's structural foundations rest on the site of a former Victorian-era public park.
Molineux Stadium has served as the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. since 1889. Located in Wolverhampton, the venue underwent major modern redevelopment in the 1990s and 2010s to modernize its four distinct stands: the Steve Bull, Sir Jack Hayward, Stan Cullis, and Billy Wright stands. It holds a capacity of approximately 32,000 spectators. The stadium is constructed on the site of a former hotel and pleasure ground known as the Molineux Grounds, which gave the stadium its name. It was one of the first English stadiums to feature purpose-built floodlights in 1953, enabling high-profile midweek evening fixtures. The pitch dimensions measure 105 by 68 meters. The complex houses a dedicated club museum documenting the history of the team. The site integrates significant conference and events facilities used outside of match days.
