" Why Manchester City fans have the best match day experience at Etihad Stadium \r\n\r\nA new study has revealed that\u00a0 Manchester City's Etihad Stadium \u00a0provides the\u00a0 seventh-best matchday experience for football fans across all Premier League grounds. \r\n\r\nThe research, conducted by trusted ticket comparison site\u00a0 SeatPick , examined all 20 Premier League venues based on four factors that can make or break a day out: beer prices, season ticket costs, visitor ratings, and the number of pubs within a kilometre of the stadium.\r\n\r\n Top 10 Premier League Stadiums for Fan Experience \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Rank \r\n Stadium \r\n Club \r\n Cheapest Pint \r\n Cheapest Season Ticket \r\n Google Rating \r\n Pubs Within 1km \r\n Overall Score \r\n \r\n \r\n 1 \r\n Anfield \r\n Liverpool \r\n \u00a33.30 \r\n \u00a3713 \r\n 4.7 \r\n 33 \r\n 78.65 \r\n \r\n \r\n 2 \r\n Old Trafford \r\n Manchester United \r\n \u00a33.00 \r\n \u00a3608 \r\n 4.6 \r\n 11 \r\n 71.08 \r\n \r\n \r\n 3 \r\n St James' Park \r\n Newcastle \r\n \u00a34.90 \r\n \u00a3695 \r\n 4.6 \r\n 106 \r\n 68.38 \r\n \r\n \r\n 4 \r\n Molineux \r\n Wolves \r\n \u00a35.00 \r\n \u00a3525 \r\n 4.6 \r\n 29 \r\n 64.91 \r\n \r\n \r\n 5 \r\n Turf Moor \r\n Burnley \r\n \u00a33.20 \r\n \u00a3352 \r\n 4.4 \r\n 7 \r\n 62.42 \r\n \r\n \r\n 6 \r\n City Ground \r\n Nottingham Forest \r\n \u00a35.20 \r\n \u00a3575 \r\n 4.7 \r\n 11 \r\n 61.96 \r\n \r\n \r\n 7 \r\n Etihad Stadium \r\n Manchester City \r\n \u00a34.60 \r\n \u00a3425 \r\n 4.6 \r\n 6 \r\n 61.17 \r\n \r\n \r\n 8 \r\n Elland Road \r\n Leeds United \r\n \u00a35.00 \r\n \u00a3495 \r\n 4.6 \r\n 12 \r\n 60.31 \r\n \r\n \r\n 9 \r\n London Stadium \r\n West Ham \r\n \u00a33.90 \r\n \u00a3345 \r\n 4.4 \r\n 10 \r\n 59.67 \r\n \r\n \r\n 10 \r\n GTech Community Stadium \r\n Brentford \r\n \u00a35.25 \r\n \u00a3495 \r\n 4.6 \r\n 14 \r\n 59.42 \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n Anfield \u00a0topped the table with 78.65 out of 100 points. The home of Liverpool FC scored well with its Google rating of 4.7 and performed strongly with reasonably priced pints at \u00a33.30. Though season tickets cost \u00a3713, the overall experience benefited greatly from having 33 pubs within walking distance for pre-match atmospherics.\r\n\r\n Old Trafford \u00a0secured second place with 71.08 points in the stadium rankings. Manchester United's ground serves up the Premier League's cheapest pints at just \u00a33.00 and offers season tickets from \u00a3608. The stadium has only 11 nearby pubs - far fewer than most rivals - yet its performance across other categories was enough to claim the runner-up spot.\r\n\r\n St James' Park \u00a0took third with 68.38 points overall. Newcastle United's stadium has a staggering 106 pubs within walking distance - more than triple the number around Anfield. This exceptional pre-match drinking scene helped balance out its relatively high \u00a34.90 pint price inside the ground.\r\n\r\nWolves'\u00a0 Molineux \u00a0landed fourth with 64.91 points. The West Midlands venue combines 29 nearby pubs with decent value season tickets costing \u00a3525.\r\n\r\nBurnley's\u00a0 Turf Moor \u00a0completed the top five, scoring 62.42. The Lancashire ground sells some of the cheapest pints in the league at \u00a33.20 and offers the second most affordable season tickets at just \u00a3352.\r\n\r\nRounding out the top ten are\u00a0 Nottingham Forest \u00a0(61.96),\u00a0 Manchester City \u00a0(61.17),\u00a0 Leeds United \u00a0(60.31),\u00a0 West Ham \u00a0(59.67), and\u00a0 Brentford \u00a0(59.42). The latter two clubs put an end to the Northern Dominance, with both West Ham and Brentford being London-based.\r\n\r\n Bottom 10 Premier League Stadiums for Fan Experience \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Rank \r\n Stadium \r\n Club \r\n Cheapest Pint \r\n Cheapest Season Ticket \r\n Google Rating \r\n Pubs Within 1km \r\n Overall Score \r\n \r\n \r\n 20 \r\n Selhurst Park \r\n Crystal Palace \r\n \u00a35.00 \r\n \u00a3600 \r\n 4.3 \r\n 8 \r\n 35.65 \r\n \r\n \r\n 19 \r\n Vitality Stadium \r\n Bournemouth \r\n \u00a34.25 \r\n \u00a3674 \r\n 4.4 \r\n 2 \r\n 36.4 \r\n \r\n \r\n 18 \r\n Emirates Stadium \r\n Arsenal \r\n \u00a36.35 \r\n \u00a31,127 \r\n 4.6 \r\n 36 \r\n 36.95 \r\n \r\n \r\n 17 \r\n American Express Stadium \r\n Brighton \r\n \u00a34.95 \r\n \u00a3610 \r\n 4.5 \r\n 2 \r\n 39.48 \r\n \r\n \r\n 16 \r\n Villa Park \r\n Aston Villa \r\n \u00a35.20 \r\n \u00a3672 \r\n 4.5 \r\n 4 \r\n 39.99 \r\n \r\n \r\n 15 \r\n Craven Cottage \r\n Fulham \r\n \u00a35.80 \r\n \u00a3486 \r\n 4.5 \r\n 11 \r\n 47.83 \r\n \r\n \r\n 14 \r\n Stamford Bridge \r\n Chelsea \r\n \u00a35.70 \r\n \u00a3880 \r\n 4.6 \r\n 35 \r\n 49.52 \r\n \r\n \r\n 13 \r\n Stadium of Light \r\n Sunderland \r\n \u00a34.10 \r\n \u00a3490 \r\n 4.4 \r\n 12 \r\n 54.69 \r\n \r\n \r\n 12 \r\n Tottenham Hotspur Stadium \r\n Tottenham \r\n \u00a35.10 \r\n \u00a3856 \r\n 4.7 \r\n 15 \r\n 55.68 \r\n \r\n \r\n 11 \r\n Hill Dickinson Stadium \r\n Everton \r\n \u00a35.00 \r\n \u00a3730 \r\n 4.6 \r\n 22 \r\n 56.62 \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\nAt the other end of the scale, Crystal Palace's\u00a0 Selhurst Park \u00a0ranked as the worst stadium for fan experience, with a poor score of just 35.65. The South London ground received the lowest Google rating in the Premier League at 4.3 and has only 8 pubs within a kilometre.\r\n\r\nBournemouth's\u00a0 Vitality Stadium \u00a0placed 19th with 36.40 points. The Cherries' home ground suffers from having only 2 pubs within walking distance - tied for fewest in the league - and charges \u00a3674 for its cheapest season ticket.\r\n\r\nArsenal's\u00a0 Emirates Stadium \u00a0came 18th overall with 36.95 points. The North London venue has the most expensive pints in the Premier League at \u00a36.35 and the priciest season tickets at \u00a31,127 - more than three times higher than the cheapest option at West Ham's London Stadium (\u00a3345).\r\n\r\nBrighton's\u00a0 American Express Stadium \u00a0finished 17th with 39.48 points. The Seagulls' home suffers from its isolated location, with only 2 nearby pubs and steep pint prices at \u00a34.95.\r\n\r\nAston Villa's\u00a0 Villa Park \u00a0rounded out the bottom five with 39.99 points. The Birmingham stadium has just 4 pubs within a kilometre and charges high prices for both pints (\u00a35.20) and season tickets (\u00a3672).\r\n\r\nFifteenth to eleventh were taken by\u00a0 Fulham \u00a0(47.83),\u00a0 Chelsea \u00a0(49.52),\u00a0 Sunderland \u00a0(54.69),\u00a0 Tottenham \u00a0(55.68) and\u00a0 Everton \u00a0(56.62). With this data being based on Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium, reviews are limited and will surely impact their standing over the coming seasons.\r\n\r\nThe data revealed striking regional patterns across the league. Northern clubs dominated the top spots, with seven of the top ten stadiums located in the north of England. London venues performed poorly, with four of the capital's five stadiums landing in the bottom seven positions.\r\n\r\nWest Ham's\u00a0 London Stadium \u00a0bucked the trend among London clubs, ranking 9th overall with 59.67 points. It offers the most affordable season tickets in the Premier League at \u00a3345 and reasonable pints at \u00a33.90.\r\n\r\n Gilad Zilberman, CEO of\u00a0 SeatPick , commented on the findings: \r\n\r\n\"These results show clear differences in the match day experience across Premier League grounds. The stadiums that perform best tend to balance affordability with strong visitor satisfaction and good pre-match options nearby.\r\n\r\n\"Northern clubs have done particularly well at creating an affordable and enjoyable experience for supporters. Liverpool's Anfield stands out as the gold standard, combining reasonable prices with excellent facilities and an atmosphere that visitors clearly appreciate.\r\n\r\n\"For fans planning their away trips this season, looking beyond just the fixture itself to consider these other factors could make a big difference to their overall experience.\"\r\n\r\n "
