Kingston Park (stadium)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kingston Park is a multi-use stadium in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It is currently used mostly for rugby union matches and is the home stadium of Newcastle Falcons. The stadium is able to hold 10,000 people. The stadium was built in stages, with the West Stand being the newest and most modern. There are plans to expand the exposed North Stand to give more protection from the elements and to provide more facilities for the fans. However, the stadium is also used for the Newcastle United reserves to play their home matches. The South Stand (John Smith's stand) is all standing but it has good protection from the elements and many facilities for the fans underneath the stand.

The nearest Tyne and Wear Metro station is the Kingston Park station but many people use Bank Foot station as they believe it to be closer.
