Argyle on tour !! Another 7hr round trip by car because Sky decided we play at 6pm on a Friday in the middle of the Xmas hols !! Fantastic stadium with excellent support from their fans. They have a great team this season. They ran us ragged but we stood proud with 3k away fans for 2nd time in 3 days. Their player budget is 60 million. Ours is 6 million. We went to Brown's pub before the match which was perfect with good real ales. They will go up....but we will see them back the year after !!
Fantastic stadium, all covered, good loos and a nice shop. Plenty of food and coffee vendors. Quality. Proper modern stadium, good views from. All ends. Well. Managed with the away fans. Up the saints!

Exploring Southampton FC's St Mary's Stadium on a non-match day was a unique and engaging experience. The absence of the bustling matchday crowd allowed for a more intimate connection with the iconic venue.
The architectural grandeur of St Mary's Stadium became more apparent as I wandered through the stands and concourses. The empty seats provided a tranquil backdrop, offering a different perspective on the scale and design of the stadium.
The club's rich history was on full display, with memorabilia and exhibits celebrating key moments in Southampton FC's journey. From the meticulously maintained pitch to the well-curated displays, every aspect of the stadium showcased the pride and heritage of the club.
Despite it not being a match day, the staff at St Mary's were welcoming and accommodating, eager to share insights into the stadium's features and history. The absence of the usual matchday hustle allowed for a leisurely exploration, fostering a deeper appreciation for the behind-the-scenes efforts that contribute to the vibrant matchday experience.
In summary, visiting St Mary's Stadium on a non-match day offered a unique opportunity to soak in the essence of Southampton FC. Whether you're a dedicated football fan or simply interested in the architecture and history of sports venues, St Mary's stands out as a must-visit destination.
Fantastic atmosphere and fantastic gift shop with great prices definitely recommend going to a match after the gift shop!
Great staff, great food and overall a great time.
Took our Little one (4months old) to her first match at the weekend. We had booked into hospitality for me and my partner but due to some issues with our LO not being able to be left with others (cries all the time) I called the hospitality team to see what the options were and they amazingly sorted out another ticket for our baby.
On the day it was quick to get into the venue once opened, the tickets were waiting and ready and the wonderful team in the staplewood lounge were so helpful throughout the day making sure we were all happy.
Food was great for me and my partner and dessert at half time was awesome.
Overall an amazing day and would highly recommend . We will definitely be doing this again.
Thank you to everyone at st Mary’s
Went along with my team Walsall fc in the FA Cup. A lovely stadium and friendly stewards on duty. The home fans seem more family oriented. The area lets it down, has it set in an industrial estate with a cramped setting.
26-11-23. Took part in the 10k, starting and finishing in the Stadium. Not an inspiring course but well organised and nice to be pitchside and to have the Stadium facilities available.
Finally they sorted out the WiFi despite being sponsored by a media company for years!
I didn't know there was a bar that anyone can go to or that you can have a cigarette at half time or meet the players in the car park afterwards!
More can be done to enhance the experience though.

I had the pleasure of visiting St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton, and it was an amazing experience. The stadium is modern, clean, and well-maintained. I went to the shop and the staff are friendly, the price is affordable.

I recently attended a match at St. Mary's Stadium, and I must say, the food and beverage options were limited and overpriced. However, there is room for improvement to enhance the overall visitor experience at St. Mary's Stadium.
A decent stadium. Located a short walk from where we parked near the harbour (Ocean Village which cost about £6 for 6 hours) which had a good selection of pre match bars (and where our team stayed so nice to meet before the game). Not the nicest of surroundings but hear some of the area is being regenerated which will improve some aspects. Food outside the ground was very good but the usual pound or two extra cost. Good access, wide concourses with helpful stewards, beer was OK and average price (unusual to see Kingfisher served at a football ground). Nice amount of tvs also to watch another game. Great atmosphere and the sound system was superb even. Result was great also. A decent away day.
Woman's Euros. Austria vs Northern Ireland. First international game I ever seen. Fantastic astrosphere with lots of cheering and singing. Loves St Mary's Football Stadium. I will definitely me coming back for future games!
What a stadium 😍.
We came over from Germany for Saints vs. Spurs. What can I say, we got an amazing 3-3 with a last minute penalty equaliser.
Stadium itself is super nice. Not one of these soul-less modern arenas but one with history and flair. Also got the chance to go a business box afterwards, which was nice.
We will definitely come back. Go Saints!

We had a great time watching Southampton vs. Bournemouth, sadly, didn't go as we hoped, but it was a lot of fun nonetheless!
Even got to meet and take pictures with Sekou Mara!
Game days are always a good experience (well better of course if Southampton win) but the best way to see a football game is to see it live.
Was invited through work into a corporate hospitality box. The service by the staff and the overall experience was top class. As a Chelsea fan I was impressed by how this club looks after its supporters and visitors.
Did the tour of the stadium. Well worth the money for the 90 minute tour. From the away and home locker rooms, the board room to the jail, the private suites to the walk down the tunnel. The tour has it all! Definitely recommend.
Went to watch the England Women's Euro game, this is an ideal stadium for this type of event. The acoustics at St Mary's are amazing, so generally there is always a really good vibe. Stadium food is stadium food it's never going to be great and it will always be overpriced, no idea why they put the ketchup out all containers were empty and the staff couldn't be bothered to sort or offer a solution, that really was the only negative, stewards were all friendly and helpful. The stadium is a short walk from the train station.
Best stadium on the South Coast. Wonderful atmosphere, a must visit for any football fan, Saints or not. There's lots of parking on the surrounding streets too which is useful.
Top tip: you can bring your own food and drinks (non-alcoholic) into the stadium - the food inside is some of the worst I've ever had so save yourself the expense and disappointment and go to the tesco next door beforehand 👌
Quality little stadium. Near enough to town. Efficient on the gates, not too crazy outside. Beer and grub is decent as stadiums go. Relaxed ground staff and a quality viewing experience. Shame about the team 🤣
