Carlisle United Football Club is a professional association football club based in Carlisle, Cumbria, where they play at Brunton Park. The team play in League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league system.
Brunton Park is a football stadium and the home of Carlisle United. It is situated in the city of Carlisle and has a certified capacity of 17,949. The ground opened in 1909. Brunton Park's grandstand burned down in 1953 and the stadium flooded completely in 2005 and again in 2015.
Brunton Park is split into four separate stands: Warwick Road End, East Stand, Main (West) Stand and the Petteril End, which remains closed unless exceptionally large crowds are in attendance.
Brunton Park is the largest football stadium in England to still including traditional terracing. In 2011, Carlisle United announced plans to move away from Brunton Park to a 12,000 capacity all-seater stadium, although in 2016 the club declared that the move to a new stadium had been shelved.
