Advantages: Its huge

Disadvantages: Strange looking

I have always thought that Newcastle's football stadium doesnt fit it into the city, it just seems out of place, and the design of it is just plain werid. Yes, it does have one of the largest capicities on the country, but these seats are set out in four stands that dont match up with each other. You have two of them which look like they belong to a high class premier league club, yet the othe two, which are much smaller, look like there are not that high class. It isnt an enclosed stadium, with gaps in the corners, so sometimes, there can be a lot of shade on the pitch, which is a bit off putting, but thats just me.

This team has one of the loudest groups of fans, and being so close to the city centre, you can really hear they roar. It is up lifting to hear the fans, and just shows the support for the team, even though they are going through a little bit of a bad patch these days, and thats not just becuase I am from Sunderland, believe me, I could be a lot harsher if I wanted. I also go to the derby games, which to me, arent the same as the other matchs played at this stadium. Insteas of being about the football, it seems to be about what happens afterwards, and there are always tons of police around. It is only a couple of minutes walk away from the main city train station, so you can get there from anywhere in the region. In all a good stadium but strange looking.

Summary: Good stadium
