I have come tonight to see Bruce Springsteen and I am disgusted with the disabled areas. It is absolutely pouring with rain and there is no cover it wouldnt be so bad if they had told us prior to coming that there is no cover and we could have factored that in but we are from Scotland and have never been to this stadium I only gave it one star because the staff are nice<br>Disabled people are suppose to have equal rights to good facilities and that's certainly not the case here |

Pink concert, atmosphere brilliant. Stadium mainly fine but concourse not very wide and food queues make it hazardous and difficult to get to toilets and get to your seats, which is not great when you have a large crowd attending gigs/shows. |

What a fantastic concert by Bruce Springsteen & E Street Band pity about the weather none sop rain all day. I would like to thank the staff at the turnstile who sorted a problem we had with the scanner entry system with our tickets. |

Nice stadium but the usual nightmare with getting to it . Went to see Bruce Springsteen. Other people complained about car parking we had a 90 minute taxi drive to get 3 miles then he took us back to Newcastle because the roads were all gridlocked. Got on the metro finally and got to the stadium at 7 o'clock we left Whitley Bay at 4 o'clock. |

The Stadium is huge, clean and well built. Welcoming fans, the staff all over the grounds are helpful and kind to visitors and Sunderland fans were friendly to us on way out even though they won. Ample parking nearby, within walking distance to stadium. The TV display is tiny though, so it is difficult to see what is being displayed. All in all, it is worth a visit. |

Considering that I'm not a Sunderland fan, I can't say anything negative about the place.<br>Perfect location in and out of, staff and people were accompanying and helpful.<br>And once inside the box it was just as nice.<br>Pitch and stadium looked really good too.<br><br>As always its just my opinion. |

Bruce Springsteen concert - the staff were brilliant. Friendly, helpful and a good laugh. The organisation of getting everyone in was very poor but I think that is down to the security hired rather than the stadium but it was bad |

Lovely stadium to watch football in. Great atmosphere. As with most football clubs they rip the fans off a bit in food and drink ( e.g. £3 for a cup of tea), but there are plenty of good eating options around the area immediately outside the stadium - especially if the burger and chips variety. |

Black cats bar isn't as good as it used to be. No entertainment (ex-player talk) and no free food before the game. Not enough seats inside for everyone at the busiest times. We prepaid for drinks for half time but they wouldn't include a tap water and it wasn't clear where to collect them so had to queue anyway. So basically an extra £40 to stand in a bar with a view of the pitch (unless the blinds are down) and 2 minutes to down a pint! No vegan or gluten free food sold. |

I went to a craft fair here. Couldn't fault the staff. They were excellent even the young teenagers outside directing the traffic. I was impressed with the layout in side. I think that was more to do with the lady running it. Events2GO. Fiona. The food and drink at the outside vans were fair, £2.50 for a bacon sandwich, £2 for chips. Hot drinks starting from £1. My only criticism was that it was like an ice rink outside. Some salt should have been spread. Couple of people I seen fell over. Overall not bad |

We were at the stadium to see a concert. Getting to our seats involved a long walk from the city centre, and finding the purple entrance was a challenge. Our seats gave us a good view of the stage, and we were undercover which helped as it rained all night. However legroom on my daughter’s seat particularly wasn’t brilliant. The nearest food stall ran out of hot dogs before the concert started. Merchandise stalls were very small. The men’s toilets smelled dreadful as you walked past. By far the worse bit though was exiting the stadium. There was no signage pointing the way back to the city centre and hardly any stewards to help marshall the crowd. There were several bottlenecks where crowds of people came to a halt, but didn’t know why. Again, no stewards to advise on direction etc. I’m sure it’s not an issue if you’re familiar with the city but clearly there were many, many people who had no clue, including myself. We got lucky in that we eventually found a quiet side street where we were able to book an Uber and got picked up within minutes of making the request. I wouldn’t consider attending another event there unless they got a better system in place. Wembley does it so much better! |

Beautiful, open and airy stadium with a large 51,000 seating capacity. Each stand has its own entrance, toilet and refreshment stand so very little queuing Bonus - Sunderland fans always create a great atmosphere. |

Love this stadium but as always the ladies loos let it down..massive queues and poor standards even as event had just started-blocked loos and wet floors(dodnt want to guess due to what), food and drinks pricey as you can expect from the venue but fantastic acoustics and atmosphere!! Home of my team so will no doubt be back!!! Friendly staff and stewards tried their best but patrons where blocking gangways and not listening to requests to return to seats. (Not steward's fault) |

Bruce Springsteen was amazing!!!! And that's what the 5 stars are for. In terms of value for money regarding the platinum package id give 2 out of 5 at most.<br><br>We'd had issues for days because the tickets hadnt been sent to our email, the hospitality number on safc website cuts you off every single time, and then the only-only way to communicate with anyone is through and assortment of email addresses on the website. You'd think for a gig of this size there'd be a lot of people manning the phone lines instead of the frustration of no one answering a single call. At one point I was going to drive an hour to the stadium just to sort it out face to face but luckily a nice lady email me back explaining there has been issues with the ticketing and they were being re-issued.<br><br>Out platinum package tickets were very expensive and not value for money. They described a meal before the gig, exclusive restaurant, free drinks x6 I think, and a leather padded seat for the gig.<br><br>Once we got into the stadium and walked up the stairs we were excited. We were pointed to the Montgomery Suite and walked in. It was massive and literally weren't told what to do as noone was at door. No one told us where to sit, how to get drinks, what the score was with food.<br><br>We asked someone at a table and they said sit anywhere, there's a lady walking about in white giving out drinks vouchers and there's a buffet table over the far side. So the platinum package was sit anywhere, search for vouchers, and have a buffet, and queue for ages at bar to get your drinks. It felt too big a room, with too many people, and not special for the way the platinum package was described - and the cost!<br><br>Then when the gig was about to start we went looking for our luxury, expensive, leather-bound seats to watch Bruce. Our perception was entirely different to the reality. They were just a regular footy seat with a spongy covering on, it was not bigger that any other seat and apart from a decent view of the stage nothing special at all.<br><br>The package was a let down sadly!<br><br>However last night, I went to the Boro and saw Take That and the staff there really treat you like a Boss!! Own seating plan, bar was easy, lovely food, just felt more personal.<br><br>Hopefully, for your next gig things may improve to make us feel a bit more special. And it wasn't just my group making these comments, a few people felt this way.<br><br>However, Bruce was amazing!!!!! And it was a cracking gig. 10/10 for that. |

Travelled to the Stadium of Light in Sunderland to watch Coventry City away fixture alongside three friends.<br>Parking was pre booked at a retail park within a 10 minute walk away from the stadium.<br>The whole experience was enjoyable and the Sunderland supporters I spoke to in the day were really pleasant as were the bar staff, stewards, and Police officers.<br>The ground is nice and creates a good atmosphere. The Sunderland fans turn out in force to support their team.<br>We were made to feel very welcome and the round trip of 7 hours was made even better by the Sky Blues running out 3-0 winners!<br>The only one negative was the lack of choice in terms of alcoholic drinks. The lager was limited to Carling in the away section and at £6.50 a pint it did not go down well!<br>A trip to this stadium is well worth it. Well done to all those attached to Sunderland. |

They’re hidden behind massive doors and with one only lift you can wait a while. |

Attended an event in the James Herriot suite, was an absolute disaster from start to finish, cost nearly £1000 for 2 of us for a 3 course meal and concert as a special once in a lifetime treat.<br>Staff didn't have a clue, left stood in the rain for 40 mins as they didn't know where we were meant to go despite having full A4 tickets with all details and a QR code on so were completely soaked before getting into the venue. The Canapes on arrival never appeared. The vegetarian starter was meant to be buffalo cauliflower, of which we were presented with a single floret of cauliflower, no sauce or garnish.<br>The main was a piece of fish that came with 4 mange tout and 1 new potato cut into slices, fish was freezing cold and tasteless, the vegetarian pasta didn't turn up, I guess it was with the Canapes, The dessert was allegedly key lime pie, at least that's what the menu said, what they served was some shoddy and cheap bought in vanilla cheesecake with some lime zest on top, again. No cream/ice cream or anything to come with it.<br>The post show snacks were an absolute insult to food. Somehow the 'chef' managed to fail to cook chips, I have no idea how they got them that wrong. The fish was a small piece of breaded non-descript processed fish that you'd buy from iceland, with half a spoon of mushy peas, no cutlery to eat them with though... The bar staff were a joke, I assume they just rounded a load of people of the street the morning of the gig, had no concept of how a bar works, a long wait on drinks despite there being 2 bar people and 2 running the drinks to tables. The whole event was an absolute embarrassment to everyone involved, and at no point did a single member of staff apologise or make any effort to make any amends to the situation, 2 older women with clipboards came in several times, I'll assume they are management, but they just made sarky comments to the staff who were struggling and walked off without having actually done anything to help the situation. The seats also had a really restricted view of the stage, for the money it was ridiculous, the stadium really need to actually employ someone in the world of event management<br><br>The whole experience was a bad joke<br><br>Springsteen was amazing. |
