St James' Park
Home of Newcastle United in Newcastle upon Tyne, capacity 52,729. Away fans are in Level 7 of the Leazes Stand, 140 steps up, so factor it in. Newcastle city centre is built for matchday drinking.
St James' Park away guide
You're in Level 7 of the Leazes Stand, normally through turnstiles 91 to 94, and it is a steep climb: Newcastle count 140 steps and 14 landings from the turnstile up to the seats. If that is not for you, say so to a steward at the turnstile and they will put you in a lift. Turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick-off, and Level 7 has accessible seating and wheelchair bays of its own.
Nothing bigger than A4, and every bag is searched on the way in. An exemption needs a medical reason agreed in advance: Newcastle say plainly that travel or hotel arrangements do not count.
Checked 17 Aug 2026 against Newcastle United support.
St James Metro station comes up right outside the stadium, you can't get closer. Newcastle Central is a 10-minute walk if you're arriving on a mainline train.
