Introduction:

Sunderland AFC has committed to a new multi-million-pound investment programme to improve fan experience at the Stadium of Light.

Features:

This includes the installation of safe standing within the Roker End (2,000 seats) and the North Stand Upper (1,000). Throughout recent years, our supporters have campaigned to see safe standing introduced at the Stadium of Light and this marks a significant step forward in the continued development of our stadium.

The improvements will help build atmosphere and reinforce the impact of the Roker End as our iconic home stand, whilst also creating a safer environment for our fans.

A new PA system and floodlighting system will also be installed this summer, unlocking a wealth of opportunities to enhance the in-stadium experience of supporters of all ages. The Club will be collaborating with world renowned partners on both projects, bringing together international brand recognition with local expertise to deliver best-in-class solutions.

A brand-new state-of-the-art playing surface and undersoil heating system will also be installed this summer, maximising the environment for our team to bring our playing identity to life.

These plans form part of the Club’s renewed commitment of putting fans at the heart of our actions, with a new technical kit partner and retail partner also set to be announced in April.

This summer’s stadium developments build on last summer’s investment across our hospitality spaces, with extensive upgrades made to Quinn’s Sports Bar, the Montgomery Suite and the Business Lounge.

In partnership with Sunderland City Council, work is also continuing to develop the city’s 5G network, which will see the Stadium of Light become the first 5G enabled football stadium in the United Kingdom in 2025.
