Best sections

North Stand

The home end behind the goal where the most vocal Brighton support gathers — best for atmosphere.

West Stand

The three-tier main stand with executive boxes and the best central side-on views and hospitality.

East Stand

A two-tier side stand with an excellent gradient, giving strong views from upper and lower rows alike.

Insider tips

  • Falmer station is right beside the stadium with frequent trains from Brighton and Lewes — rail is by far the easiest way in, as parking around the ground is heavily restricted.
  • The stadium sits on an exposed hillside, so bring layers; the away section is in the south of the East Stand.
