Staff/stewards are all very friendly and helpful. The prices are a bit on the steep side though, Premier League prices at a National League ground. 😲 Easy enough to find parking in a side street. All in all, a decent football ground 👍🏻

Went here yesterday for the 1st time to watch Chesterfield play Southend in the FA cup, got a good deal with ticket £10 adult £5 kids, nice little compact modern stadium with attendance just under 5000 so was a good atmosphere as home side won 3-1, has all the usual facilities toilets , food & drink outlets , Club shop & all the staff were helpful, if you’d unsure on parking the nearby Tesco gives you 3 free hours but can be a bit gridlocked after match day, would recommend & would go back
A fantastic ground, obviously built for league football, great views from all around the ground, pitch is always in good condition no matter the time of year, also has a good club shop

It was the first time I had been to a match for many years. Albeit a firm supporter and many miles away. The stadium is brilliant and the old Saltergate paled in comparison. I recall being at a match in 1958 there and have fond memories coming over from Ireland. Their new home needs and deserves a championship side and hopefully one day it will.

History (from Wikipedia)

The Dema Glass site emerged as a possible location in October 2004 at a time when the club were already pursuing planning permission to redevelop Wheeldon Mill, the town's former greyhound stadium. Chesterfield Borough Council viewed the site as part of a masterplan to regenerate the A61 corridor, an area to the north of the town centre and including the Chesterfield Canal.[10] Agreement in principle between the club and local authority was struck in February 2005,[11] though progress faced initial delays.[12]

Designs for the proposed new stadium were provided by local architects Ward McHugh Associates who had previously undertaken commissions on the redevelopment of the South Stand at 
Twickenham and Everton's Goodison Park stadium.[6][13]

Planning permission was granted after a public meeting held on 1 July 2008,
[14] with the plans forming part of a wider mixed-use development. The land at the site was handed over to the club in February 2009[15] and, after decontamination, construction officially started on Thursday 23 July 2009, overseen by GB Development Solutions.[16] Separate buildings which formed part of the overall scheme included a Tesco Extra superstore, Tesco petrol station, a KFC, an Enterprise car rental and other office facilities.[1]

The new stadium was handed over to the club in July 2010
[17] and granted its full capacity licence from the Safety Advisory Group after hosting two limited capacity games against Derby County and Barnsley.[18]

Name changes[edit]

Initial sponsorship under the name the b2net Stadium was revealed on 14 August 2009.[19] However, after two seasons and following the acquisition of b2net by Swedish company Proact,[20] the renaming of the stadium to the 'Proact Stadium' was officially announced on 13 August 2012.[21] Due to UEFA restrictions, when it hosts England youth matches it is known as Chesterfield FC Stadium.[22]

The Proact Stadium, which will become the Technique Stadium effective August 2020.
