Ahead of Sunderland AFC’s return to the Premier League, the Stadium of Light has undergone a second successive summer of unprecedented development.
An eight-figure investment programme has been implemented throughout the stadium, marking the latest phase of the Club’s continued commitment to delivering outstanding fan experiences.
Last summer, this included a new retail store and ticket office, the redevelopment of several premium spaces, the introduction of safe standing, the installation of an elite playing surface, and new PA and lighting systems.
Further significant investment has followed in the aftermath of promotion, as the Club ensures its PL-ready across all spaces and touchpoints.
One of the most significant improvements ahead of the new campaign is the development of our general admission spaces, which now feature newly refurbished concourses carrying extensive Club branding throughout the lower bowl, including legends murals, plus new TVs.
This new aesthetic will create an elevated experience for fans and add to a commitment of ensuring stronger food and beverage delivery, which includes new kiosks in all stands and technology that will enhance the quality and speed of service, including the introduction of eBars.
A complete overhaul of the beer cooling and pouring systems across all areas will also bring additional and much-improved draught beer facilities, including the introduction of Madri on the main concourse.
The Club will also be bringing onboard new local suppliers and vendors as part of this enhanced food and beverage offering.
Recently announced, a new partnership with Delaware North will also have a transformative impact on premium experiences, with chef Tommy Banks, a lifelong Sunderland supporter who holds two Michelin stars, spearheading two new incredible offers in Banks on the Wear and 76 Yards.
On Saturday, we also proudly unveil the Jimmy Montgomery Stand in action, with Jimmy’s name now emblazoned across the front lip of the stand facing the pitch.
Our players will also be greeted with a new-look environment when they return to the stadium, with a remodelled dressing room and tunnel area ready to go ahead of this weekend’s home pre-season opener against Real Betis.
The Club’s broadcast and media infrastructure has also undergone a programme of modernisation, including the refurbishment of the Louise Wanless Media Centre, the creation of a new press conference space, interview rooms, and mixed zone.
Chief Business Officer, David Bruce said: “Our return to the Premier League represents a pivotal moment for the Club and our supporters have once again been at the forefront of our actions heading into the new season. This investment reflects our ambition to deliver a world-class experience for fans, players, and partners alike. From enhanced general admission areas to elevated premium offerings, every touchpoint at the Stadium of Light has been carefully considered to ensure its Premier League ready. We can’t wait for our supporters to sample these new experiences when we welcome Real Betis to Wearside this weekend, as preparations continue for the start of a brand-new era.”
Fans attending Saturday’s game will see all these changes in action and enjoy 50% Carling and Madri in general admission spaces from 13:30 to 14:30, with free hot dogs for kids also available alongside the purchase of any adult meal.
