Advantages: Numerous: Seating, traffic etc

Disadvantages: The football!

Being a massive Derby County Fan, i am afraid that this review may become a little bit rose tinted and if at any point i start declaring my love for the club then i apologise profusely!

However, this fact does not take away from the point i am trying to make. Pride Park is a great stadium in every way, and is far too good for a championship side.

I have visitied many Championship and Premiership stadiums and i often go and think: "Wow, this isnt as nice as at home". So below i will try and explain some of the advantages and disadvantages of Pride Park Stadium.

Advantages
---------------
1) Great location
Set just outside derby and on the major A52 road it makes getting to and from the stadium extremely easy. There are also very few traffic jams when coming out of the ground after the match. Something which cannot be said for many clubs in todays top flights and 2nd leagues.

2)Great viewing
No matter where your sat at Pride park, you are going to have a good view. I sit behind the goal, as its where all the noise comes from and yet i still have a brilliant view. The seats are arched in such a way that despite being about 100m away, you can easily see whats going on at the other end of the stadium.

3)Good pitchside food
As i often go straight to the match after a day at work or uni, i dont have time to get any food. Therefore its imperative to me that theres a good KFC, Maccies or something similar for me to get some food on board. Pride park promises this with abundance, with Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC, Macdonalds and others all about 50 yards from the stadium.


Disadvantages
------------------
1) Currently, the only disadvantage from going to watch Derby play at Pride Park is the football. However, if your an away fan, your guaranteed to leave happy; which promotes your experience even further!!!!

Summary: A good stadium in a good location
