The staff were so friendly. Decent stadium. Shame the ref had a red and white shirt on underneath her green one |

A great stadium but interaction with the home fans is limited due to being so high up and so far away. Stewards and staff are a credit to the club treating fans as human beings. Other clubs should take note |

Went for a show. Plenty of toilets, vendors and staff but security was slow to react to incidents but were efficient once they got there. Accessibility was non existent unless you couldn't walk at all.<br>Food was barely warm from in the stadium.<br>Seats are hard and narrow when sat there for over 4 and a half hours!<br>But got in and out quickly enough. Just a shame the surrounding roads were a joke to try and drive out of. Was not planned very well at all.<br>With the large posts around the stage visibility it was limited but watching Ed go round like a sushi bar was amusing.<br>Sound was very echoey when the artists were talking so was hard to make out everything.<br>But all in all a decent enough experience. |

Could do with some renovation these days but is still a solid football stadium. Turnstile issues lead to entrance delays however. |

Atmosphere was absolutely bouncing, only disappointment was my seat wasnt attached to it's frame, getting in touch with the club is a nightmare as its impossible to get through to someone to complain so for that reason they dont get 5 stars |

I was worried for attending such a busy and crowded event while pregnant but it was all safe and good organized. Only annoying bit was when people had to stand up to let people get past you, first to get drinks and then when they had toilet needs, too often. |

The concert experience is fantastic at the Stadium of light. The only reason to ever be disappointed is the actual prices for refreshments inside the venue. The Boss was an absolute joy to watch though even through the rain ☺️ |

Went to the stadium for an Ed Sheeran concert. The whole place was well organised and the stewards were excellent and really helpful.<br>After the concert the stadium emptied quickly and we were soon at the metro station. I'm glad we went on the second nights concert because I'm sure all involved on organising event learnt a lot after first night.<br>Overall it was a very pleasant experience inside the stadium.<br>Well done SAFC ❤️ |

Wel, it is quite the drive north to the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, but it is well worth it. What a new and modern stadium they have. All seats have good views of the pitch. The staff is friendly and the food is great. The supporters are quite enthusiastic. First time in the Champions League for the The Black Cats? |

Came here for the Beyoncé concert. We drove into Sunderland from our accommodation on the outskirts. The official arena car parking is a good 15 minute walk away. We decided not to park there and parked in the centre which was closer.<br><br>We had tickets for the black cats bar (hospitality tickets which cost around £400 for two tickets) the staff when we arrived were friendly and welcoming. The complementary drink was a nice touch and they had decorated the lounge nicely.<br><br>The seats were a bit high, so the people on the stage looked like ants.<br><br>They had a DJ, singer /guitar playing duo, a magician and a balloon artist. Which was like being at a kids birthday party but it filled up the time until Beyoncé come onto stage.<br><br>I think that it's good that the stadium hosts music artists and to have someone as big as Beyoncé perform twice is brilliant, however myself and my girlfriend expected a bit more for £400. |

Bruce Springsteen concert. We were told to use the accessible entrance, once we got in a very nice and friendly steward explained to us that, they'll ask to see our wrist bands but as we have accessible tickets we don't get them and our seats were literally on the other side of the stadium. We had to walk up and down stairs and through the crowds of people in the standing area. We then watched peiple with mobility issues (wheelchairs, walking frames, sticks ect) being told to walk up stairs with no assistance. When we got seated in a covered area the roof leaked and we were soaked for 4hrs.<br><br>There were no sign post for or too either metro station, the metros were packed both ways as there wasn't enough trains put on for the demand.<br><br>The merchandise stores inside were tiny and few and far between. We paid £2.70 for a tiny packet of pringles and a whopping £14.70 for a warm bottle of Carling and a generic cider.<br><br>The sound at the start of the gig was really poor but got better as the show went on.<br><br>We left before the encore as we were too concerned with fighting through 40'000 plus people to get home.<br><br>Awful venue for music, unless Kurt Cobain is resurrected and Nirvanas only show in the world is here then we'll not be going back. We'd both prefer the extra expense of a trip to Glasgow or Edinburgh.<br><br>The BOSS was phenomenal! Death to my home town rift, with Atlantic city lyrics was a high point. |

People sitting in the wrong seats, stewards just telling people to sit in other empty seats, which belong to other people, which when the stadium is almost sold out for a concert is just plain ridiculous, no one really seemed to be in charge, serving very drunk people with more alcohol is just plain irresponsible.<br>Not enough toilets!!!!!!<br>£3.20 for a bottle of water!!!! |

Stadium itself and the shows/matches it hosts are pretty good. However the traffic and getting people away afterwards is awfully unorganised. The worst thing was the catering. Inside the stadium it was a choice of vegan/normal sausage roll or hotdogs without onions or sauces (literally dry bread and a soggy frankfurter). Told it's the same at football matches. Our local ground has the above, plus various pies, chicken biryani, burgers and fries, crisps, chocolate etc. For a 40k capacity stadium with shows that go from 4pm to 11pm..... The food was woefully inadequate. |

It's an impressive stadium, wind swept off the Weir. Parking is easy and you're only a short metro hop from the City centre or even Newcastle. There's not too many pubs, although the away end serves beer. Up in the gods, you feel a little isolated although the away end makes a good racket. |

Stewards all friendly enough and the few sunderland fans i came across were also very approachable.Giid point for the hornets but should have won really.Quiet atmosphere probably due to Watford being on top fir large parts of the game. |

4-4 and a last minute penalty, what is there not go love?<br>Strong security outside, one steward was a bit OTT but a great stadium with some passionate supporters.<br>Away supporters be aware, you are high up and away from the game. |

This is a cracking stadium. Plenty of bars, food stalls if a little expensive and easily found as an away fan. Sunderland put our tiny allocation as a Portsmouth FC on top of the family enclosure??!! Stupidily one of our fans launched a flare into it and he got a good kicking before running to the Police. We could have filled the entire stand and still plenty of room |

Once you actually find your gate it is a long way up to the sky where you watch a game of subbuteo. The stadium is good for a third level club. However don't linger in the area outside for long. Suggest you leave quickly. |

Can walk all the way round this stadium and it’s a lot bigger then you first expected when you come in and park.<br><br>Massive amount of parking available (if don’t go on match day that is!) which is quite handy.<br><br>Have their own merchandise shop on site which is also quite handy to have. It was also open, had a few customers in when we visited so must be quite busy in general.<br><br>Only downside really is one of the way outs was blocked without signage, so had to do some kind of turn to use another way. As not from this area it was kind of confusing to navigate to get out, other then that can’t really fault it. |

Een imposant en ruim stadion met een trotse uitstraling. De sfeer bij Sunderland-wedstrijden is warm, luid en vol passie, gedragen door een trouwe achterban die altijd achter de club staat.<br><br>Het stadion is modern, overzichtelijk en biedt vanaf vrijwel elke plek goed zicht op het veld. Een echte voetbaltempel in het noordoosten van Engeland. 🔴⚪🏟️ |
