Away fans visiting Brighton’s ground are housed in the South East corner of the AMEX stadium. This area not only includes the corner section but also part of the East & South Stands lower tiers. Around 3,300 fans can be accommodated in this area. It is worth noting that the Club charge away fans more for sitting in the East Stand rather than the South Stand or South East corner. As you would expect from a new stadium, the view of the playing action and legroom are both good. Plus the added bonus of padded seats is a rare ‘luxury’. Food available inside the stadium include handmade Pies from Piglets Pantry in Shoreham-on-sea, which are baked on-site. You can choose from Steak & Harveys Ale with mushrooms, Chicken & Ham with leek and Vegetarian butternut squash with spicy tomato. However, they do come with a reputation as being one of the more expensive food options about. Also on offer are Cheeseburgers, Burgers and Hot Dogs.
At the stadium itself outside the North East corner, by the walkway to Falmer Station, there is a small Fan Zone, which away fans can visit. Apart from a small stage for music, the highlight has to be the mobile bars which offer a number of real ales that’s a very nice touch. Outside Brighton Mainline Station there are a number of excellent pubs’. Phil Kramer recommends the Evening Star, on Surrey Street. It is away fan friendly and only two a minute walk away from the station. It is in the CAMRA good beer guide and serves real Sussex ale and cider’.
Both ends are also small single tiers of seating and have an electric scoreboard to the rear. One of these ends, the South Stand, has a hospitality area containing a number of executive boxes, which is situated above the seated area. The roofs over both ends slope down from the larger West Stand on one side to the East Stand opposite, giving the ground a different look. Apparently, this is so the stadium fits in with the rolling South Downs landscape. The stadium is totally enclosed with all the corners now filled with seating (these were added during the 2012/13 season). One nice touch is rather than having lettering displayed on the seating, images of seagulls are included instead. What makes the ground particularly striking is the amount of transparent material used in the roofs of the stadium, apart from the supporting framework there is not a solid panel to be seen.
Falmer Stadium or The Amex Stadium as it has become known (or American Express Community Stadium to give it its official name), when viewed from afar, is a spectacular sight on the Sussex landscape. Up close, the semi-circular roofs of the stand and the tubular supporting steelwork above them, are at first glance reminiscent of the Galpharm Stadium in Huddersfield. But on closer inspection, the similarity ends as Brighton’s stadium is a far superior ground, which inside is reminiscent of the KC Stadium in Hull. On one side is the impressive-looking West Stand. This three-tiered stand, has a large lower tier, a small middle tier, and a medium-sized upper tier. The seating in the upper tier follows the semi-circular design of the stand, giving it an interesting effect. The team dugouts are located on this side, as well as an open press area, which is conveniently situated above the players tunnel on the halfway line. Opposite is the smaller East Stand. This two-tiered stand had its upper tier added in the Summer of 2012. The gap in-between the two tiers is occupied by the Clubs’ administrative offices.
