The licensed standing areas, located in the Caldwell Construction (South) Stand and the southeast corner of the stadium, represent a key component of Stoke City’s broader vision for invigorating the matchday experience. These sections will allow fans to cheer on their team while standing, further intensifying the passion and energy that have long been synonymous with the club’s home ground.
The introduction of these standing sections comes in response to overwhelming support from fans, who have long advocated for more dynamic ways to engage with the action on the pitch. Recognizing this, AFL Architects has worked closely with the club to design safe standing solutions that meet both the supporters' desires and modern safety standards.
