WeAreBrighton.com - Amex Stadium
After over a decade of planning battles, the American
Express Community Stadium was finally opened in July
2011, giving Brighton and Hove Albion a permanent home
just the 14 years
after the Goldstone Ground was sold to developers by an
asset stripping owner.
The
Amex
has quickly gained a reputation as one of the best
places in the country to watch football. Here is our
guide to the stadium.

The Amex Stadium
Our guide to visiting the Amex Stadium, featuring on
the history of the stadium and looking at the best
places to sit. Even if it will set you back £65
(SIXTY FIVE POUNDS) for a plum seat in the middle of
the West Stand for a Category A game with the big
boys. |

Transport
Driving straight to the stadium is a bit of a no-no
with severely limited parking in and around the
Falmer area and what there is is frankly charged at
an obscene price. We take a look at the best ways to
make your way to and from The Amex. |

Eating and Drinking
Eating and drinking has become an integral part of a
football match day experience now - especially the
drinking side of things. With the Amex being an
out-of-town stadium, here is our guide as to where
you should head for refuelling. |

Construction
Having waited for so
long for the stadium to built, there was a keener
than usual interest taken in it's construction.
Between August 2009 and the opening in June 2011, we
paid 15 visits to the site at Falmer documenting
each stage of the building of the ground. |
