St James' Park (Newcastle United FC)

What a sham from the owners/operators of Newcastle United. A shameful insult to a dedicated set of supporters and near desecration of 117 years of history. St James Park is an iconic football ground which dominates an y city view of Newcastle. It has been an integral part of Newcastles identity for more than a century. The ground itself is magnificent, if a little lop sided. Seating anywhere in the ground offers a good view of the pitch, and matchday facilities are first rate. On the downside, it's a long climb up a lot of stairs to the higher levels. On a matchday the noise generated inside the stadium can be anywhere between silent, up to intimidating, right up to ...  Read the complete review

St James PArk, home of Newcastle United and one of the biggest grounds in the country has toda been renamed The SportsDirect.com@St James Park stadium. Newcastle has finally plumbed a new low in its long and occasionally succesfull history, the club that had such great players as Jackie Milburn, Malcom McDonald, Kevin Keegan, Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley, Gazza, Alan Shearer and managed by the great Bobby robson has now lost al sense of reality. I'm not a Newcastle fan but lived in Newcastle for 2 years in the mid nineties at the time under the stewardship of KK Newcastle played some of the most exciting football seen for a generation, they should ...  Read the complete review

As a Newcastle fan, St James Park holds a very special place in my heart. I hate to sound bias but the city of Newcastle is a thriving city and one of my favourite places to be in the world. One of the best nights out in Britain with the River Tyne running through it and all with a 52,000 seater stadium at the pinnacle of the city. I adore the location of St James Park as I have been to many a football ground that is in the middle of nowhere and in the most boring locations. The fact that St James is right at the peak of the city is not only brilliant and great to look at from a distance, but also suitable. It is a common misconception that the geordie public are deluded ...  Read the complete review

As a Newcastle fan I have been to St James' Park many times. It is a brilliant stadium on all accounts and in this review I will show you why. Location St James' Park is right in the middle of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, a big and vibrant City, with endless amounts of restaurants, bars, clubs, coffee shops and shops in general with Eden Square shopping centre being about half a mile away. The city is always buzzing before and after a match at St James' aswell. Due to its close proximity to the city, the option to do something worth while before and after the event at St James' is very much always there. St James' Park is renowned for its location, not many ...  Read the complete review

St James Park is the home of Newcastle United Football Club and with this it is the home of some of the best stadium atmosphere in the football premiership (though I am liable to be biased). As stadiums go, this one is pretty attractive with a wire frame around the outside (you can sort of see it in the picture). The stadium is large with 55000 capacity and is frequently sold out provided it is not a European game. Totally seated, the seats extend to quite a height, however the game is definitely still watchable from the top- though being lower down is preferable. If you are in Newcastle, it is certainly worth going to a game. You might regret it ...  Read the complete review
