The Stadium of Light is the magnificent home of Sunderland AFC, widely regarded as one of the best stadia in Europe.
It was opened with a showpiece game against Ajax in July 1997 and initially had a capacity of 42,000. With the subsequent North Stand extension and other ground improvements, the present-day capacity is 49,000.
Sunderland AFC has always been famous for producing an intense atmosphere in its ground; and the traditions of Roker Park have remained at the Stadium of Light. |
