It was a historic day for West Ham United as they began their Premier League life at their new stadium.
After 112 years playing at the Boleyn Ground the Hammers moved into the London Stadium - known to everyone in the whole world as the Olympic Stadium - this summer.
And today they played their first league match at the ground, making it the 55th stadium to host Premier League football in England.
But it appears the stadium itself is not quite finished.
One fan tweeted a picture of his position in the stand which showed bare concrete, apparently where the seats should have been.

And then after club chief executive Karren Brady tweeted her delight at getting three points, the same fan replied to her with the message "Where's my 'kin seat??"

Now, we're fairly certain there's a law in English football that stadiums must be all-seater, so not sure what's happened there.
Meanwhile, some of those who actually *do* have seats might still have a job seeing the action given how far some are from the pitch.
Needless to say, the internet had something to say about that.

In the match itself, Michail Antonio scored a late winner against Bournemouth to ensure the Hammers got life in their new ground off to a winning start.
