The Fan Zone is located on the East Concourse area of the stadium and is open from 4pm and will stop serving alcohol one hour before kick-off.

Supporters will need to present a valid stadium ticket to enter the area which has a limited capacity. The stadium’s bag policy (see below) also applies to anyone visiting the fan zone.

Spectators drinking on Olympic Way and the surrounding streets will be asked to hand over their alcohol and enforcement action may be considered.  

We are taking these steps to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Supporters wanting alcohol before the game should head for the licensed bars or restaurants in the area or make their way to the dedicated fan zone outside the stadium.
