Wider research

Most and least expensive food and drink offerings were considered as part of a wider study analysing nine metrics for 20 football stadiums in the Premier League to reveal which is the most fan-friendly.

The research looked at capacity, Google ratings, toilet accessibility, distance from the nearest transport stop, the price of a season ticket, hourly parking, number of pubs in the vicinity, pints, and a pie in each ground.

Newcastle’s St James’ Park was crowned the best stadium for fan experience, with 202 pubs within a one-mile radius. Of the top 10, Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane had the second highest number of pubs, with 101 in a one-mile radius of the grounds.
