New wayfinding at the Amex

Whether you have been coming to the Amex for many years or are visiting for the first time - finding the best entrance that’s nearest to your seat or lounge will make entering the stadium an easier experience.

The new numbering system gives each entrance that used to be labelled starting North, East, South or West then adding Lower or Upper, now adds a number instead so that fans can logically find their way around the ground. 

Tickets and season tickets will now show the best numbered entrance for you to use. 

This is designed to reduce queues at some turnstile entrances and enable fans to find the nearest entrance to their seat quickly and easily without the need to know the geography of the stadium stands.

Please take a look at the new map of stadium below:

Food & Drink

There’ll be one fish and chips unit, as well as one tea and coffee unit, which can be found opposite the Superstore. There will be no alcohol being sold in the fanzone.

All lower stand kiosks will be open offering a wide selection of matchday treats.

Fanzone

The Disco Bug will be joining us in the fanzone – head there for some pre-match tunes!

Get your matchday selfie in the photobooth located in the East Lower Stand.
