have visited at least 50 football stadiums in England, and the AMEX is up there with the best. Certainly the most comfortable seats, with good leg room. Good offering pie and pint offering. Would also recommend the stadium tour.

It is a lovely stadium. If you are in town and BHAFC are at home it is worth going. There are usually tickets available. Good football but dont expect a great atmosphere, the crowd seldom gets too excited.

Firstly, my two-star review relates to the Sunday Lunch experience (rather than the Stadium itself which is fantastic!) Note that I've put carvery in quotes because this isn't a traditional carvery; you don't go to a counter for your main course but rather choose beef, lamb, pork or vegetarian options from the menu which is then brought, plated, to your...

This amazing piece of modern stadia was built by the Buckingham Group, and designed by KSS Architects. They have created and built a modern 21st century stadium fit for the community and a place to watch football in. A recommended must is a stadium tour to see the sweeping arches and the amazing internal devour. 10/10

I was taken to the Amex as a birthday present to watch Brighton play Blackpool. Fantastic weather, fantastic football in a fantastic stadium. It is a wonderfully friendly place, really family orientated and I was particularly impressed with the pie and pint offerings for lunch. I am a Spurs fan and find the traipse up to north London really gutting,... More

The Amex stadium is a delight to visit with good access via rail,road,bus,bicycle or on foot. All of the sight lines are first class and the reruns are shown on the big screens right away. Plenty of food and beer are available and you can watch the match being played on Sky Sports. As usual not enough toilets and no... More

But then, as an Albion fan, I'm biased. The place is just awesome. Great views, padded seats, excellent snacks and locally brewed beer. What's not to like?

A colleague and I took 8 lads to the Brighton v Leicester game last Saturday. The majority had never been to a 'proper' football match before and didn't know what to expect. We had great seats with a good view of the goalmouth and next to the Brighton end where all the singing takes place - which added to the... More

The way the stadium is made gives an excellent atmosphere. The seats are also padded which is a rarity in football stadiums and they were comfortable.

Agree with all the foregoing positive comments made by other reviewers. Am an Albion season ticket holder and have been for forty years. Loved the Goldstone, hated trekking to Gillingham and tolerated Withdean knowing the Amex was on its way. What a worthwhile wait, the stadium met all expectations, plus. Match ticket includes free travel within Worthing, Haywards Heath and... More
