“Newcastle United have been reborn recently with an atmosphere to match. Tyneside is one of the most passionate places to watch a game of football and the stadium is one of the easier to get to in a Premier League city, thanks to its location slap-bang in the town centre. When the Magpies are on song, the Toon roars for every tackle – and with Newcastle still establishing themselves as a superclub, I’d recommend getting there before tickets become scarcer and scarcer.”

"Should availability remain following the season ticket holder priority, our members are given a priority period."

Newcastle United stadium FAQs
Why is Newcastle United's ground called St James' Park?
St James' Park is named after its neighbouring street, St James Street, which predates the ground. Intriguingly though, Newcastle United seem to have added an apostrophe to the stadium.
Are Newcastle United going to leave St James' Park?

It's a coincidence. Both grounds are named after separate places that have St James in the title.

Yes. The site of St James' Park was originally a patch of sloping grazing land and despite work to try and even the pitch out, it still slants from north to south.
Is St James' Park the highest stadium in England?
No – though it may seem like that for away fans. At an altitude of 551ft (168m), the Hawthorns is the highest ground above sea level of all Premier League and Football League clubs.
