Carrow Road football stadium was opened in 1935 after Norwich City moved from their previous ground, fittingly named 'The Nest' on Rosary Road. It became the third ground that the club had inhabited since their inception in 1902. The current stadium consists of four stands; 'The Barclay' , and the 'Norwich and Peterborough Stand' (aka The River End) which lie behind each goal, (North-East and South-West respectively), the 'Geoffrey Watling' (to the north-west of the pitch) and the most recent addition, the 'Jarrold Stand' (aka The South Stand).

The record attendance for a home game at the stadium was 43,984 in 1963, versus Leicester City Football Club in the sixth round of the FA Cup. Norwich lost 0 - 2. However, this record was established nearly thirty years before all-seater stadia became mandatory for all English league football clubs, a factor that severely limited the capacity of all football stadia. The record attendance for an all-seated crowd at Carrow Road is 25,522 for the Premiership match against Manchester United on April 9 2005, a match Norwich won 2-0.

The new 'Jarrold Stand' is a cantilever, single-tiered, all-seated stand, that can hold up to 8,000 supporters.

This stand was further extended in 2005 (opened 2006) and now extends around the 'Norwich and Peterborough Stand' corner of the ground. The two 'width-wise' stands of the ground are also all-seated and completely sheltered from the elements. They are both double-tiered, and each accommodate rows of executive boxes. On each corner they also support the floodlight pylons.

The single-tiered 'Geoffrey Watling City Stand' is the smallest in terms of capacity, but comprises Directors' Box, Press Area, and various other hospitality suites. This stand extends around to meet the stands at either end, with the one end attached to the 'Barclay' Stand.
