If you're cooking an egg and the yolk breaks, then just use a New Yolk. That's the concept of this stadium, named New Yolk Stadium.
Actually it's named after the area of Rotherham that it's in... "New York". Nothing at all to do with the slightly somewhat a little bit larger version of New York way over the Atlantic in the fresh smelling (sometimes) New World.
First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I was lucky enough to visit this shiny new stadium just a few months ago... in late 2014, 2 years after opening. It looks shiny ideal for the club. They've got a real gem on their hands, hence the 4 stars. I was staying at a nearby Bed & Breakfast that was only a couple of miles away from this location so I decided to walk there.
I was able to go into the stadium and walk around the grounds. I have unfortunately yet to see a live game there yet so I can't comment first-hand on the atmosphere but the facilities are top notch.
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!

This 25 million pound stadium just opened in 2012 and is a perfect little stadium for a little team like Rotherham that are punching above their weight. It can hold 12k people and keeps the noise in and is bright red like the team, it's honestly the perfect stadium for a smaller team, and speaking of small, would you like to see... oh never mind.
Very proud of Rotherham for building such a great little place and may it forever live in infamy and bring this team lots of success. read more
