Roots Hall is a football stadium located in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England. The stadium is the home ground of the National League team Southend United. With a capacity of 12,392, however currently restricted to 10,502, Roots Hall is the largest football stadium in Essex. During the early 21st century there was lengthy discussion of a new 22,000-seat stadium at Fossetts Farm, but a change of ownership in 2024 ended prospects of that development, with the new owners instead pursuing redevelopment of Roots Hall.
