St. James' Park in Newcastle is a historic and iconic football stadium, when going there the atmosphere was electric. Located in the heart of the city, the stadium offers an impressive and imposing structure that dominates the skyline. Whether you're a Newcastle United supporter or a visitor, attending a match here is an unforgettable experience. The views from the stands are excellent, giving you a clear view of the action on the pitch. However, the steep seating can be a bit daunting for those not fond of heights, but the energy and spirit of the crowd more than make up for it.

I am somewhat biased here as I now work at the ground as a safety steward but I have to admit it is a fantastic stadium that embraces both tradition and new features. The 7 tiered stands on the North and West sides give a great view despite the distance from pitch side and the atmosphere is amazing ... Especially when the home team score. Food and drink concession prices are very much on the expensive side, but you would absolutely expect that at one of the ten largest football stadiums in England and a Premiership football team.

History (from Wikipedia)
St James' Park is a football stadium in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It is the home of Premier League club Newcastle United F.C. With a seating capacity of 52,305 seats, it is the eighth largest football stadium in England.
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 league Magic Weekend, rugby union World Cup, Premiership and England Test matches, charity football events, rock concerts, and as a set for film and reality television.
