Villa Park

What an amazing stadium!We made a detour here for the children (7 and 4) to see the stadium for their first time.What we were hoping for was a picture of us outside the stadium but then we met Derek the security guard:What a very special man! He allowed us inside the stadium to have a view of the pitch in order to take our pictures. He was such a friendly and kind person; a true representation of the Aston Villa family. It totally made our detour worthwhile!

Wow so beautiful, wonderful stadium and amazing history to go with it. Was an awesome experience. Loved it

Superb stadium with plenty for everyone to do pre and post match. The Villa shop has lots of merchandise and i advise you to go in early as it can get ridiculously busy.Good choice of food and drinks available outside the venue with ample parking in the vicinity .

Attended recently for a conference. The part we were in was very nice and loved the layout . Catering staff were absolutely lovely, especially a young brunette lady who was working on the day of the Youth Suicide Conference called Becky..The food was really tasty and loved the refreshments at the beginning and during intervals.Great venue for conferences!

The match with Hibernian (31/08) was my first time at Villa Park. I will definitely return there, and even at a formally won match, fans filled the entire stadium - amazing. The stadium itself is well designed so you won’t have to wait in the crowd

They don't offer any vegan options for food. When asking for a black tea (as it is vegan) they can't give you it. And their fans are silent most of the game. The seats are fairly comfortable although I would be much more impressed if they had safe standing. I have visited this ground on numerous occasions to watch West Ham play and the staff are always friendly to everyone. Stewards are very friendly and are very helpful when trying to find your seat. Its location is fairly easy to get to from many parking locations although I would like it if they had a few more signs to show where the ground is. Compared to all the other grounds I've visited it is nice. Some grounds are nicer but you can tell that millions are spent on the features that they have. This ground has more than enough features that make the ground stand out although a few big investments could greatly improve the whole experience as a visiting fan. The London stadium (West ham's home stadium) is a great stadium but this ground feels much more like a football ground so it's always nice to visit. I look forward to coming back!

It's a really cool place too watch Football and easy to get to. You can simple get a train and it's a 5 minute walk once you get off. I would give it 5 stars if some of the staff were not as rude, however
