STADIUM OF LIGHT

For the best view and atmosphere at the Stadium of Light, most fans recommend sitting in the South Stand, particularly near the halfway line, as it is considered the most vocal and lively section of the stadium; the South West corner is often cited as a good option for a balance between view and atmosphere.

FEATURE ON WHERE TO SIT

Have you been to Sunderland AFC? If you have and you happened to take a photo of the view from your seat, please send it over along with the stand, block, row and seat number. We really appreciate your help. As do many other fans deciding on where they'd like to sit when they visit!

ABOUT THE VENUE
The Stadium of Light is a newish build and as such is typical in its 'bowl' construction. However, it is different from many newly built stadia because of its scale, with a second tier looping round half the stadium contributing to the 49,000 capacity. Away fans are situated behind the goal in the South Stand and have excellent views as you would get from any area in the stadium. On the exterior you'll find many things to see and take photos of including a statue of 1973 FA Cup Final winning manager Bob Stokoe.

PARKING
Parking in the immediate vicinity of the stadium is quite difficult although there is a large car park at the stadium that is generally reserved for permit holders. However, the club operate a free park and ride service with buses running every five minutes, from 90 minutes before kick off. You can also park in the town centre and walk back 10-15 minutes to the stadium. Whichever option you choose, allow plenty of time as there's always a lot of traffic on match days.
