The Wigan Athletic Stadium, also known as the JJB Stadium and DW Stadium, has been home to Wigan Athletic since 1999 when they moved here from their former Springfield Park home.

The first match in the Stadium was a friendly against Morecambe, with 4,020 in attendance and the Stadiums official opening was a friendly against Manchester United 3 days later when 13,428 turned up - near to capacity at the time as work was still ongoing - to see Paul Scholes score the first goal at The Latics new home. The first competive match was the visit of Scunthorpe United for a Division Two (third tier) match on 7 August 1999, a match which saw a delayed kick off to allow the 7,418 to enter the ground safely.

The finished capacity of the ground is 25,135 and the record attendance was set on 11 May 2008 when 25,133 witnessed Manchester United win, and lift, the Premier League trophy. Wigan Warriors Rugby League Club also play at the stadium, their first game here taking place on 19 September 1999.
