St James' Park has been the home ground of Newcastle United since 1892 and has been used for football since 1880.[2] Throughout its history, the desire for expansion has caused conflict with local residents and the local council.[3] This has led to proposals to move at least twice in the late 1960s,[4][5] and a controversial 1995 proposed move to nearby Leazes Park. Reluctance to move has led to the distinctive lop-sided appearance of the present-day stadium's asymmetrical stands.[6] Besides club football, St James' Park has also been used for international football, at the 2012 Olympics,[7] for the rugby leagueMagic Weekend, rugby unionWorld Cup, Premiership and England Test matches, charity football events, rock concerts, and as a set for film and reality television.
