Sixfields Stadium, Association football stadium in Northampton, England.
Sixfields Stadium is a football venue in Northampton with a capacity of around 7,650 seats distributed across four stands. The main grandstand features multiple tiers of seating, administrative offices, changing rooms, and hospitality areas.
The stadium opened in 1994, replacing the County Cricket Ground as a new home for the football club. The first match took place against Barnet and marked the beginning of a new era for the team.
The Dave Bowen Stand is named after a former player and manager who shaped the club's development. The name serves as a daily reminder of important figures in the club's history.
The stadium is accessible through four separate stands, with one typically reserved for visiting supporters. When planning a visit, it's best to check current match schedules and access requirements beforehand.
From 2013 to 2014, Coventry City Football Club temporarily used the stadium as their home ground while dealing with issues at their own venue. This unusual arrangement demonstrates the important role the ground plays in regional football.
