The club allow no bags in apart from something the size of a lady's handbag, even a plastic bag. We had to leave our tiny rucksack in a hut for £5 |

Fiquei emocionado com o clube e sua torcida que apoiam o tempo todo, independentemente de injustiça contra o time, durante os jogos! Parabéns! |

Awful ground to get too, not good. The fans leave the ground 80 minutes to go too. Too bad because I love Brighton to visit but stadium very underwhelming. |

Undoubtedly the most difficult stadium to get to in the country. Make sure you leave Brighton centre 2 hours before minimum. It's quicker to walk the 5 miles than to get public transport |

The Christmas fair was a bit disappointing as there weren't many stalls selling different Christmas foods just lots of cheese and fudge. Lots of expensive things to buy but some stalls only took cash payments. The worst thing was the coffee we bought in the cafe, it was disgusting. I wish I had asked for a refund. Maybe they should invest in a decent coffee machine. |

The plans were initiated by Brighton & Hove Albion after the club's previous home, the Goldstone Ground, was sold by the club's former board (consisting of Greg Stanley, Bill Archer and David Bellotti) to developers in 1995 with no new home arranged.<br>When the club was evicted at the end of the 1996–1997 season, it groundshared for two seasons at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium, 50 miles away in Kent.[4]<br>Two years later, the club returned to Brighton as tenants of Withdean Stadium, which was upgraded to Football League capacity requirements and later expanded when Brighton reached Division One (now the EFL Championship) in 2002 following two successive promotions.<br>The site at Falmer was identified during the 1998–99 season and it was hoped that the stadium would be ready in the early to mid-2000s. However, subsequent delays in gaining planning permission meant that the club would have to wait until August 2011 before being able to play their home games there – more than a decade after the stadium was first proposed.<br><br>Planning permissionEdit<br><br>Planning permission was given by the unitary authority of Brighton and Hove City Council in June 2002, with the intention of the stadium being ready for the 2005–06 season.[5] The plans for the stadium were opposed by neighbouring Lewes District Council and local residents. While the stadium lies completely within Brighton and Hove, part of the north-east of the site is in Lewes. Bennet's Field, as it is known, is now used for parking.<br>Further complications were due to both vacant fields, and the campus of the adjacent University of Sussex, being included in the South Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, although outside the National Park. This led to the designation of the stadium plans being the subject of a separate planning inquiry by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.<br>John Prescott, then Deputy Prime Minister, approved the plans on 28 October 2005. However, Lewes District Council immediately mounted a new legal challenge to the stadium plan. In April 2006, Prescott admitted that he had given his approval based on the misconception that only a small part of the stadium site lay on the Lewes side, and withdrew it.<br>Hazel Blears, the Secretary of State responsible for planning, re-affirmed the approval on 25 July 2007. Her decision went against the advice of planning inspectors. Lewes District Council, Falmer Parish Council and the South Downs Joint Committee (the three main opponents) announced shortly afterwards that they would not mount a high court challenge. On 4 September 2007, the deadline for appealing the new grant of permission expired and the club received full permission to proceed |

Really amazing stadium and cant fault the service etc, but please dim the lights off at night way too bright. Orange glow seen from Woodingdean/Rottingdean. Must be affecting nature right? Also costing you ££££ |

The ground is alright, we always take the piss when we play there because we are Palace. Somebody said the atmosphere was fantastic there? You having a giggle it's like a poxy library, full of supporters of other clubs and JCL's! Fire drill at 80 minutes guaranteed, whatever the score! Brighton LOL |

I'm pretty biased since it's the team I support but the walk from the train station to the grounds is such an amazing experience that I've never had in a football match before or after |

This is one of the best football stadiums in the country and i think in the world too. And the shop we have got at the football stadium is so amazing to look around and is so amazing to go into and we have got others in the town too we are so lucky to have a modern football stadium too. |

A great new stadium for my local football team. Visited the stadium as part of the Park & Ride scheme transporting fans to & from the game. Excellant organisation for everyone & hopefully looking forward to some success they deserve after being a fan at the Goldstone Ground many years ago. Come on you Seagulls. |

A modern football stadium. Bright, airy and architecturally pleasing to the eye. As always, it is an emotive place. When Brighton are winning, it's a citadel of hope. When Brighton lose, it can be a cauldron of despair. I love this stadium. |

Went to the stadium 🏟 for an MRI scan, but I have also been to the Amex for football. Went and saw England U19 play. Great stadium which definitely, depending on BHAFC has room for expansion. |

I was at the stadium yesterday for a medical appointment. I was at the exit on my bike and the guy closed it while I was passing. My shoulder is hurting now. He didn't even say sorry and just did a sign to go away. |

Lego style modern stadium in the middle of nowhere. Waited over an hour for the train back into Brighton. Atmosphere akin to a schoolboy international match, obviously not counting the away support. Food and drink at ground expensive. |

Nice clean venue but very slow inefficient staff at the bars that take ages to serve. Beers are poured to order instead of having a load ready to be served. Often beers are significantly under filled with some cases over an inch of head. In the south west corner it is poorly planned. the mens toilet isnt big enough and you have to wait ages in the queue unless you leave 5 minutes before half time (same for the bar). There is one weak hand drier for the entire mens toilet which in winter isnt sufficient to dry anyones hands and is very bad when its near freezing outside and people are going out with wet hands. The south west corner also has a lack of food variety and often sells out. |
