SUNDERLAND AFC
Sunderland
Association
Football Club’s stadium is
a landmark. It’s set on the
banks of the River Wear
and locals as well as visiting
teams’
supporters
flock
here – for the fixtures and to
see the club itself. The site
was previously a colliery,
however it became the new
home of Sunderland AFC
in 1997 and saw its largest
attendance to date in 2002,
when 48,355 fans watched
as Liverpool FC played
Sunderland.
International
and local games are played
in the stadium, but it’s not
just football fans who head to
the stadium. The venue plays
host to many major music
concerts; big names including
Take That having played
here. The creative design,
reflecting the region’s rich
maritime and mining heritage,
assures spectators comfort
and there’s a variety of food
and drink options to suit
the occasion. You can even
hold a conference or special
event here, with room hire
and catering available via the
banqueting team. The club
also has a well-stocked shop,
so you can take home a strip
or souvenir of your visit to this
iconic football club.
