Sunderland AFC
Stadium of Light
Directions & Car Parking
Exit the A1 at
Junction 62, the Durham/Sunderland exit
and take the A690 towards Sunderland. After about eight miles,
you will reach a roundabout, at which turn left onto the A19, signposted for the Tyne Tunnel. Stay in the
left hand lane and take the second slip road
towards Sunderland (signposted Stadium Of Light, A1231
Sunderland). This takes you onto a bridge
crossing over the River
Wear. Turn right onto the A1231 following the signs for Sunderland. Go straight
over four roundabouts into Sunderland.
Then go through two sets of traffic lights
(keeping in the left hand lane at the second set, going
straight on towards Roker rather than the city centre) and you
will see the Stadium car park on your right, about a mile after the traffic lights.
However there is only limited parking at the ground, so alternatively, you can
park in the city centre and walk to the ground (about 10-15 minutes). The traffic for a
couple of miles around the ground was solid when I went so allow plenty of time for your
journey.
There is also a 'Park & Ride' scheme in operation on matchdays,
free for both home and away supporters. This is situated at Sunderland
Enterprise Park, which is well signposted just off the A1231. Buses run
every five minutes, for 90 minutes before kick off and continue after the
game until everyone has gone.
