Kentucky Basketball toured Chelsea F.C.'s Stamford Bridge stadium

On Sunday, your University of Kentucky Wildcats will play unranked Michigan in London’s O2 Arena as part of the Basketball Hall of Fame London Showcase. But first, the team has sightseeing to do after touching down across the pond early Thursday morning.

Today’s touristy fun began with a stop at Stamford Bridge, the 145-year-old home of Chelsea F.C., one of the world’s premiere soccer (football to the locals) clubs based in West London. Stamford Bridge is an iconic stadium that seats 40,341 fans, and one of Chelsea’s star players is Christian Pulisic, the captain of the United States Men’s National Team.
