It's a great stadium with lots to like about it... It has it's own brewery for a start though I'd prefer Redemption to Beavertown.
One of the Tap Inns ran out of lager, bitter and non-veggie pies at half time.. which caused some consternation... the concourse is too narrow but most of them are.
The stadium looks very imposing as you approach it and the views inside are great, the rail seating is a great bonus when everyone is standing and you've got dodgy knees.

Thought it was outstanding and well done to them for the rail seats because it makes it much safer generally and standing so much easier for me with the rail than without.

I thought Arsenal was impressive but this is another level above that.

Just wondered if £1 billion gets you hot water and a decent hand dryer in the toilets? If so,worth every penny.
I always think of these essentials for watching football.

Did you know, cold water cleans your hands just as well as hot water as long as you use soap?

I thought it was superb. The seats nearer the front were maybe a bit too low down but, as someone said above, the four big screens showed the whole game ‘live’ so you could easily glance at them when play was at the other end. I personally felt it was better for football than Wembley and certainly better than The Emirates. As usual, getting to and from the ground was a challenge but only what you expect with such a larger number of people around. The surrounding area is pretty grim so you can only hope that the stadium causes some investment in the local community.

I didn't go to this game, but was there for the NFL.

Probably going to be in the minority and say I prefer Old Trafford.

Best stadium I have ever been to - and I’ve been to lots in the UK, Europe and Canada / US.
The 4 screens were excellent.
We arrived there early and the service and facilities were great.
We stopped in a pub near the train station we had parked to watch the Manchester Derby before driving back and we were talking to some really sound Spurs season ticket holders. They asked the cost of our season tickets and could not believe it when we told them it was just over £300. There’s were £1200. They said there were 69,000 people on their waiting list for season tickets.
The stadium and bars apparently stay open for 3 hours after the games so fans can watch the games / wait for crowds to clear etc.

Personally thought it was streets ahead of The Emirates.

I would hope you are in the minority. Old Trafford is big but in desperate need of improvement. It’s way down the list now.

You would expect it to be better I suppose being brand new and I totally agree with you that it’s streets ahead.
