List of largest stands in the UK?

[Brian Fantana]

Certainly doesn't look higher...

The Sir John Hall Stand at St.James' runs alongside the pitch, not behind the goal.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

The top tier of the MCG right at the back row always feels really high up.

yeah I know, but it's the same size.

 

[brightn'ove]

this is from quite near the back, the people look like ants, seriously, you surely would be able to see f*** all from that far away...

also from behind the goal... what a view!!

Apparently the stands at Selhurst are the furthest away from decent football in Europe.

Giggle!

When I went to the champions league final at OT a few years back I'm pretty sure I was in the 4th tier.

It has 4 levels, but levels 1 and 2 are in the same first tier.

found this to illustrate:

The top of the Sir John Hall Stand at St. James' is apparently the highest point of any stadium in Europe.

From sea level probably!

what i WILL say is that the top of st james' has been known to cause many panic attacks.......it's f***ing high up

Indeed, I had a season ticket 4 rows from the back of the Leazes end for years, just moved down to the Gallowgate end now though.

I didn't actually mind being up there, got a decent view of the pitch and a cracking view of the city. Only downside is climbing 14 flights of stairs, especially after a few bevvies.

It can't be THAT far from Sutton Utd's ground, shirley?

Suppose we do like the odd drink, yes.

In regards to the altitude questions look at this

Also found this semi decent semi inaccurate/outdated list of stands by capacity. First error is the Holte end at VP it holds over 20k and this says only 13k.

Hence my comment of inaccurate/outdated but it does give some comparisons as to where the Amex would rank amoung England stands.

My view from 3rd highest row in the east stand of Old Trafford.

 

[NUFC1892]

Decent photo of the view from the MIlburn stand at SJP.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Boardman?

Have to say St James' is one of my favourite stadiums. Only been once (heavy defeat against barca if I remember correctly) but I sat in that stand and thought it was great. And close to the city centre.

Put a roof on and this is what The Amex will look like after redevelopment

after we've built over brighton uni, sussex uni and the bypass?

actually to be fair, the nou camp is fairly wonky, i wonder if palace fans hold it in such disregard as they do the amex
