That's what I had hendo77, although I would make the following comment regarding the Arsenal one:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Their (old) stadium was actually officially named "The Arsenal Stadium" but not a lot of people know that, including Von, but then as a Lillywhite I wouldn't expect him to know much about the auld enemy!

For the 7th one, I have:

Emirates Stadium instead of Highbury. The Wiki was a great help!

I think the 2005 stadium is to exclude Emirates. Topgun2 is giving you a big clue about what they're looking for.

Well, I was pretty proud of myself for finding all the answers, although it appears I have #7 wrong now. Would I know better if I was male, into sports and in the UK? As it is, neither applies, so I guess I'm SOL.

Arsenal have famously just moved to a swanky new stadium, so I guess the answer to that is 'yes' (not that I know what SOL means). I would imagine Wikipedia would give the one that was in use up to last year - one of the most famous locations in English soccer, though no place I was ever comfortable: my Dad's a Gooner and he took me there a few times as a child, but stopped after I got hit by some kid in a red rosette.

try forgetting the sports aspect and looking at what you have as a word puzzle that requires a simple answer that can be deduced from the words you just filled in.
Edit - sorry, didn't notice you'd already hit the Wiki.
