My ground guide

Welcome to MyGroundGuide.com. Our goal at My Ground Guide is to bring you all the information from every venue, stadium and sporting ground in the world.

Here are a few things we consider when reviewing grounds

  • The atmosphere: This is probably the most important factor for many fans. A good atmosphere can make a match even more enjoyable, while a bad atmosphere can be a real dampener. Consider the noise levels, the singing and chanting from the fans, and the general feeling of excitement and anticipation in the ground.
  • The facilities: This includes things like the seating, the toilets, the food and drink outlets, and the parking. Make sure that the facilities are clean and well-maintained, and that there are enough of them to cater for the number of fans expected.
  • The location: The location of the ground can be important, especially if you’re travelling a long way to see a match. Consider how easy it is to get to and from the ground, and whether there are any hotels or restaurants nearby.
  • The value for money: Finally, you need to consider whether the ticket price is reasonable for what you’re getting. Make sure that you’re getting a good view of the pitch, and that the atmosphere and facilities are up to scratch.

Here are some of the things you may need when visiting a sports ground or stadium

  • Valid ticket: This is the most important thing you need, as it will allow you to enter the stadium. Make sure you check the ticket carefully to make sure it is for the correct match and date, and that it is in your name or the name of the person you are accompanying.
  • ID: Some stadiums may require you to show ID when you enter, so it is a good idea to bring your passport or driver’s license with you.
  • Cash or credit card: There are usually food and drink vendors inside the stadium, so you may want to bring some cash or a credit card with you.
  • Weather-appropriate clothing: Football stadiums can be hot and sunny, or cold and rainy, so it is important to dress appropriately for the weather. If you are not sure what to wear, it is always better to err on the side of caution and bring layers that you can remove or add as needed.
  • Snacks and drinks: Stadiums often sell food and drinks, but they can be expensive. If you want to save money, you can bring your own snacks and drinks. Just make sure they are in clear plastic bottles or cups.
  • Sunscreen: If you are visiting a stadium during the day, it is important to wear sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun.
  • Camera: If you want to take photos or videos of the game, bring a camera with you. Just make sure to check the stadium’s rules about photography before you start taking pictures.
  • Hat and sunglasses: If you are visiting a stadium during the day, it is also a good idea to bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun.
  • Comfy shoes: Football games can be long, so it is important to wear comfortable shoes. You may also want to bring an extra pair of socks in case your feet get wet or dirty.
  • A positive attitude: Football games are meant to be fun, so make sure you come with a positive attitude and enjoy the experience!

Here are some additional tips for visiting a sports ground or stadium

  • Arrive early: This will give you time to find your seat, get food and drinks, and use the restroom before the game starts.
  • Be respectful of other fans: Football is a passionate sport, so it is important to be respectful of other fans, even if they are supporting the opposing team.
  • Don’t bring any illegal items: This includes weapons, fireworks, and alcohol.
  • Be prepared for the weather: Check the forecast before you go and dress accordingly.
  • Have fun! Football games are a great way to see some exciting action and cheer on your favorite team.
