One cashpoint is not enough for a 70,000+ capacity venue but other than that and the very long queues for toilets, the place us great. I love the atmosphere and there are plenty of food outlets to choose between. Stewards are efficient and well trained which is rare these days and I saw them dealing with issues rather than standing gawking at the event.
I love the rugby shop onsite as well; great merchandise!!
You can get very good value tickets for games at times so it is well worth going.

I visited the stadium on friday to watch bon jovi, the place is massive loads of food and drink outlets throughout. I had a totally fantastic time.

Is it great or not?, on it’s day it’s the best. It depends who is playing , and who is winning!
Start the day in the West car park, there’s always a very friendly atmosphere, if it’s going to be fine go a couple of hours early and see the atmosphere build up, chat to other fans from any team…. it’s far better than the soulless bars in the stadium.
The ‘Sevens’ days are great for a group , but are best if the weathers fine.
The crowd has improved in the last few years, more vocal and supportive, they used to be criticised for being subdued.
The Varsity match in December is not what it was… not sure of it’s future.
Ticket prices seem to keep climbing, and not just for good seats, but there’s such a demand.You can leave sometimes thinking it wasn’t gret value.

There's nothing wrong with Twickenham, but there's nothing great about it, either. It's a massive oval concrete structure for seeing rugby and huge rock acts (I've seen U2, the Stones, and the Police here). It's got a lot of narrow pinch-points in entryways and staircases (and there are a lot of staircases) that don't make for good crowd flow. But there are lots of toilets and bars. It's very handy that the stadium puts on free buses to take people to and from the train station in nearby Richmond, because getting close to the stadium during an event is impossible.

I can only give it 4 stars as a brilliant stadium it may well be, but its the home of English rugby - meaning it's the home of all that is bad in the world. The good guys live at Murrayfield of course (and if you haven't been to Murrayfield for Scotland vs England - beg or steal yourself a ticket as that it what big match atmosphere is all about)

On Twickenham though it really is an impressively designed stadium and has a really good atmosphere now they have rebuilt the last stand - I was pleasantly surprised by how good the views were from up in the gods when I went to watch England vs France before the World Cup. They could do with sorting out the drinks stands at half time though, that and get some better beer partners in!

Twickers, fortress Twickenham, HQ, The cabbage patch. Ah, Twickenham..... Home to English rugby and a bloody brilliant stadium. The ground can hold 82,000 people making it the 2nd biggest stadium in GB behind Wembley. Mostly used for rugby, Twickers is home turf for England but also hosts the Middlesex 7's, Powergen cup and the Heineken cup. The likes of U2, Iron Maiden, The Police and the Eagles have also played here. I came here for England vs Ireland last year (see video) and i'm hoping to go again in the next couple of weeks for this years 6 nations!

Probably my favourite stadium in the UK....
