Sixfields Stadium

If you’re used to feeling 3 or 4 inches, wait til you find out how Sixfields.
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — after my concert in Northampton of 2011, I came to the stadium to see what the fuss was about. It’s not too bad, it’s brand new, but a little soulless, and never gets full, and loses a bit of atmosphere. And it’s tiny. So I can’t say it’s one of my faves, and when I visited in 2014, I got yelled at by a steward for going inside (I mean with expletives and everything). At least he didn’t call the cops.
So it’s a 3 overall, and when I see a full game here I will update this one. Probably in 2016.
I’ve been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are from first-​hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I’ll post later. Also, when back in UK I’ll take more pix, and add more stadia!

This is a pretty standard new stadium built for Northampton Town, although Coventry City briefly shared it. It doesn’t have much character and has slightly open corners which depletes from the atmosphere. It also has a small capacity, so I really don’t have any sort of love for it. There’s one big stand but that’s about it. There’s a big green hill behind one of the stands.
It’s on a nice little hill overlooking the town, kinda cute.
