First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I was shocked when I came to St. Andrews for the first time in 2011. It's amazing! I was in the middle of a tour and had just played a really exciting concert in central Birmingham, and then I came here and it really put the cherry on a great day. What a fantastic, intense, perfectly situated stadium. Intense fans and a really great layout and nice updated facilities. A total palace for BCFC. I think it's a much more welcoming and homey place than Villa Park, and better even than Hawthorns. It's not far behind Molineux. The stewards here are really lovely too for that matter. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** It's one of the best stadiums in England actually, which is weird because I don't really like the team that plays here much but I gave them a good rating as well. There are so many glowing reviews of this stadium but they're incorrectly listed under the football club, hopefully Yelp will move them over here at some point soon. Opened in 1906, it hosts 30k rabid fans in England's second biggest city. By the way, go get a Chicken Madras at Akbar's and a Mixed Kebab at Lahore on Ladypool Rd. 2 best things in Brum imo. The old St Andrews was pretty typical (like Villa Park is), there's just one side of the stadium that needs to be properly modernized and made to look like the rest, and then I think it'll increase to a 5 star stadium, but I'm going to give it 5 anyway. It's steep and it's loud and it's awesome, and right in the heart of Birmingham, and gets full marks from me.

    Weed is grown in what kind of field? A High Field. Duh…read more First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I was lucky enough to be brought here as a kid by my older friend David, to watch Coventry v Oxford. Little did I know the stadium would be knocked down. I'm not sure exactly which year it was, but sometime in the 90s when I came here. Within 10 years it had been destroyed. Definitely a great memory and a loud crowd and a lovely little trip up from Oxford (only an hour by road). However I was very disappointed with some of the facilities, and while it scores a 4 for the large intense crowds and fun memories, it was not a comfortable nor safe stadium and I'm not surprised it was obliterated. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans).

Some of the sides weren't filled in but it was still one of the better ones. Unfortunately, it has now been demolished and replaced with a generic stadium that doesn't really have the same atmosphere, is too expensive, etc. It hosted 23k and was shut down in 2005 and was one of the better away grounds for us travelling fans to go to.

    Match attended: Manchester City 2 Leicester City 0…read more The King Power Stadium is the 20th largest football stadium in England, and is home to Leicester City FC, the stadium has a capacity just over 32,000 and was built in 2002. The stadium overall doesn't feel too modern, especially when compared to the Etihad Stadium which was built at around the same time, some of the concourse areas felt quite old, and some of the entrances seemed to go straight into the ground from the outside, bypassing the concourse which was quite strange, and felt like something I've only seen before at lower division clubs who aren't in the Premier League or recently promoted Huddersfield Town. On a more personal milestone, this is my 1800th Yelp review, obviously this is quite a cool choice to mark that milestone, and is the third time a "100 review milestone" has been met by a football stadium, with Hull City's KCOM Stadium (1200th) and Barcelona's Camp Nou (1400th) also meeting that honour, as it, of course, involves football. Back to my regular review - The stadium its-self is okay after you enter the ground through the concourse area, the stadium seating and pitch did seem quite modern, one thing that interested me was the capacity of the ground being so large with this stadium being a single tier all around the ground. The stewards, disability staff and everyone on the ground seemed quite friendly. Wheelchair bays are located in the away supporter end for away fans, with some also being located in the home supporters, in my opinion, this is disgraceful and all away wheelchair bays should be with the away supporters, but this was in a sense better than my last visit to Anfield, who had all away supporters in wheelchairs in with the home fans, and it was the same situation as clubs such as Hull City and Sunderland who have a mix of the two. The view wasn't great, slightly obstructed by the stewards walking up and down and the camera man, who was obviously taking pictures or recording the game for some source, with it being a Saturday 3pm kick-off it wasn't going to be on Sky Sports. Apart from the blockages at times, the view was Okay, but once again with the platform not being raised, I felt too low down to even see the lining of the pitch, and I struggled to see the other end, sadly it was hard to tell if Gabriel Jesus' goal had gone in, until I saw the players celebrating and heard the City fans cheering. The overall atmosphere around the ground was decent for the City fans, as we kept singing all the way through the match, the atmosphere overall from Leicester wasn't great. Another cool thing was the amount of support for away fans, the stewards seemed to come over making sure I was okay and felt welcome, one even joked "how many are you going to score past us today", with him, of course, being a Leicester supporter. The entrance into the ground was also quite weird, which had a shutter which must open to get into the "box" to get into the ground, and then must be fully shut before you enter your ticket, which was a frustrating inconvenient time-wasting thing, I couldn't understand the need for. It was nice to see City fans recognised for travelling 110 miles, as you walked into the ground, there was a nice message with our club logo, recognising the travel of our fans. Overall, this is quite a new stadium, despite being 15 years old now, but in some areas it just doesn't feel like it, the view wasn't great and their was some issues with the viewing of wheelchair access, but I still think this stadium deserves a medium two-star rating, as even the bus links and transport from the train station isn't too well sign-posted, making transportation difficult for away supporters, I even struggled having to use Google Maps to make the 1 and a half mile walk between the train station and stadium.

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I played a concert in Leicester in 2011 and visited this new stadium for the first time. Absolutely fantastic facility! Five stars all the way! Crowd was loud and intense and the team really responded to them. Brilliant facilities, very friendly people on the turnstiles, concessions weren't as awfully priced as some of the other stadiums. Brand new, shiny, one of my faves in the UK. I went here again in 2014 when I was stuck in the UK, after getting Pork Pies in nearby Melton Mowbray. It remains a very impressive stadium and one of the best I have visited. And it means a lot to all my friends who are fans of the Foxes. Plus who doesn't love a team named after themselves, right? Phenomenal venue for soccer. I've been to every significant stadium in UK & US, due to a lifelong obsession with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later followed Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are based on first-hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, visiting hundreds of stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in the UK I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** It's a gorgeous new stadium with a rabid crowd that replaced thew old Filbert Street stadium. It can hold almost 33k people and often does for these amazing Premier League games as the club tries to pull off the miracle and escape from relegation. It's England's 19th largest stadium. It opened in 2002, and of course Leicester City play here. It was previously known as the Walkers Stadium but they sold the naming rights because they could no longer afford Gary Lineker to be in their ads. England played a friendly here in 2003. It's right on the banks of the river. It's a stunning new stadium with an intense atmosphere and could only score a 5.

And if it were the "T*tty Ground" then it would be a strip club rather than a stadium. Thankfully it's none of the above. Wait, did I say thankfully? First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I have a sort-of ex in Notts who is kind of famous. My most recent trip to the ground was after we hung out together for the morning which was lovely. Then I went to the City Ground alone, and honestly I was still buzzing from seeing her, so I probably had a 5-star experience and thought this was one of the best matches I'd been to in years (a home game against local rivals Derby). However, if I include every other time I've been to the City Ground (4 or 5 times, including once to watch Oxford play away), it's more like a 4. Because the corners of the ground don't keep the noise in, and it needs a little bit of renovation work. Also the stewards were not particularly friendly to me. Still, lots of good memories. I first came here as a kid, then as a teen, and now a few times as an adult. I look forward to my next trip. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans).

Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** It can host up to 31k and is right by the river. It's red and white and has been around since 1898 which is a long f***ing time. It looks pretty cool from above if a little uneven because of the differing types of stands and stuff. Nottingham had planned to move away so a new stadium could be built for the 2018 World Cup, but Russia won the right to host it instead of England, so now they're staying for awhile. It was used during Euro 96 and saw Croatia win and Portugal win twice. It still has some open corners, and while it's pretty huge it could be prettier and the corners could be filled in and that could improve the atmosphere. But it's right next to a river so it still scores a 4.

    Of course I am biased (being a Forest Fan), however I believe the setting of the ground, the…read moredifferent and individual stands and the great atmosphere inside all contribute to making this one of the best football grounds in the UK. The stewarding is over-zealous and the student section is soulless, but the rest of the ground is great. Often hosts the Women's FA Cup Final... every stand has a history and every trip is memorable (sometimes for the wrong reasons!).

    So when I was setting up my tour, obviously I played Leeds on Monday, Bradford on Tuesday, and…read more.. duh... Sheffield Wednesday. A She-Field is basically a female version of a He-Field, and it's way better in every way than a He-Field. So now you know. Bell Biv Devoe. First-Hand Experience: I'm lucky enough to have seen Sheffield Wednesday live on 6 or 7 occasions, including in the very old days down in Oxford, and of course at their home stadium more recently. Which was very sad for me. This team is a brilliant team that is a giant of the English game. I have to separate them from their stadium which was a death trap and a heartbreaking place for any Liverpool fan. They were formed in 1867 and so are one of the oldest teams in the world. They're currently in the second tier but are a fallen giant, along with Sheffield United, and belong back in the big time as soon as possible. They were originally a cricket club which is kind of boring. The club played only on Wednesdays, hence the name of the team now. They play in boring blue and white. The Arctic Monkeys, Gary Cahill, Paul Carrack, Jarvis Cocker, Michael Palin, Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead and Def Leppard all supposedly support the Owls. Yes they're nicknamed the Owls, how adorable. They have won the Premier League 4 times, in 1903, 1904, 1929 and 1930, so some really amazing pedigree there. They won the League Cup as recently as 1991 when they were still a top team, and they won the FA Cup in 1896, 1907 and 1935, so their trophy cabinet is definitely full and impressive. They've spent 66 seasons in the top division, but not since the year 2000, so hopefully they'll be back soon. The reviews here that are for the stadium need to be moved to the new stadium listing. They once beat Geri Halliwell 12-0. I'd rather join her than beat her. Chris Waddle, Des Walker, Marc Degryse, Paolo Di Canio, David Hirst, were a few of the legends here. Sheridan, Harkes, Wegerle too. Americans before Americans were cool. Just don't ever go and watch them on a Tuesday or a Thursday. It'll end badly.

First-Hand Experience: I've seen Derby play live, in person, more times than you can imagine. I saw Torres rip them to shreds. I saw them battling with Oxford even while they had several Oxford players on their books back when I was a kid. I've seen them recently at Pride Park. I always love Derby as a city and as a team and will look forward to seeing them again in the future, too. They're one of the great provincial clubs in British history, with a close affinity with managerial great Brian Clough as well as goalkeeping legend Peter Shilton. The town of Derby was wonderful to me when I played a concert there on my tour. They were one of the 12 original British clubs, as well, formed in 1884, and now playing to 33k at a beautiful new stadium known as Pride Park. Their nickname is the Rams, and even though I'm a Bull (and a Stud) I love Rams. A lot. Especially a certain Ram, she knows who she is, hi sweetie! (waves) Their current manager is Steve McLaren and I wish them the best because he's a great and underrated manager. They have probably been in the top division more than not over the years which is a great record since they're provincial. Not too much in the Prem era though. Brian Clough and Peter Taylor led them to unprecedented British League wins in 1972 and 1975 which was incredible for a provincial club to do. Clough later went on to do it at rival Forest too, which is why he's one of the legends of the game. They were also FA Cup winners in 1946, so they have a real pedigree. They once reached the Semi Finals of European Cup and lost to Juventus, again under Clough. Their badge is really cool.
