Riverside Stadium is the home ground of Middlesbrough Football Club, which plays in the Championship. Set in Middlesbrough, a town on the River Tees in the North East of England, it has been the club's base since it opened in 1995.
With a capacity of roughly 34,000, the stadium is one of the largest football grounds in the North East. That scale gives it a presence on the town's skyline and makes it a clear landmark for anyone arriving in Middlesbrough. The ground has hosted both Premier League and European football, so it has seen the club compete at several levels over the years.
What a visit offers
For football fans, a match day is the most natural reason to come. A crowd of that size brings a lively atmosphere, and the stadium is a good place to experience the local game in a club setting. Visitors who are not attending a match can still appreciate the venue from the outside and take in its place in the town.
