The Amex Stadium, also known as Falmer Stadium, sits in Falmer on the outskirts of Brighton, on the south coast of England. It is the home of Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club, and it has a capacity of approximately 31,000, which places it among the modern stadiums of the Premier League.
What to expect
The stadium is first and foremost a football venue. It primarily hosts matches, so a visit is most rewarding on a matchday, when the crowd, the chants and the atmosphere give the building its character. Since 2011 it has served as the club's purpose-built home, a fact that gives it a particular significance for supporters and for the city.

Getting there and around
Falmer lies a short distance from the centre of Brighton, so the stadium suits a day trip from the city. Visitors planning a trip should check the club's own information before travelling, particularly for match arrangements, as access on busy days can differ from usual.
Beyond the stadium
Brighton itself offers plenty for a visitor to fill the rest of the day: its seafront, its lanes of independent shops and its wide range of places to eat. Pairing a match with time in the city makes for a full and enjoyable visit, whether or not you follow the club.
