Headingley Sports Ground

the home of awesome rugby. and awesome cricket. clean, fresh, stylish.. just love the place. honestly couldn’t ask for a better stadium. has all the new and modern facilities. but still keeps the old rugby stadium feel. been going to rugby matches for many years here. and never had any trouble. violent or otherwise. great day/evening/night out.

I came to the stadium for a test match and came away pleasently suprised. The stereotypical image of a quiet game, clapping at shots and being for the upper class was washed away. The atmosphere was great (sitting close to 'the barmy army’), everyone was friendly and happy to help.
The view was great, and if you have youngsters into cricket they give out 4/6 signs which can be held out. Also if they take them to the barrier the fielder will more than often sign them. We got talking to some other fans who informed us that if we took our tickets in to the office for the final day we would gain free entry. I’m not sure if the offer still stands, but if it does it is definatly worth it just for the atmosphere.

Headingley has a huge pull for cricketers, rugby players and general sports fans. In the middle of a studenty residential area, the stadium is safe and friendly, and is conveniently located beside a load of bars and cafes! Big crowds always lift the atmosphere, but this is a great stadium - maybe because the fans are so great!

Come on you rhino’s!!!

Headingley Stadium is home to the Rhino’s, Leeds Tykes and the cricket team. With a large holding capacity and a bar. You can really enjoy the sport here. We normally go on boxing day when the rhino’s put a special game on. The staff are helpful and friendly although the burger vans are extortionate.

Great Place to watch Rugby League or Union, with the County Cricket groung right next door. The southstand is not for the faint at heart as it is where the noisiest Rhinos fans congregate, but with plenty of bars and food outlets, this is a cracking stadium

This is a unique sports staduim. There is a Cricket ground, a test venue and home of Yorkshire County Cricket Club no less, on one side with a Rugby ground ont he other. One of the stands has two sides and I can't think of anywhere else like this elsewhere in Britian.

Rugby League (Leeds Rhinos) and Rugby Union (Leeds Tykes) play at the ground in the summer and winter respectivley and that can be good fun, espically the HUGE crowds for the Rhinos (they are the best supported Rugby League team in England) of about 15-20,000 for a Friday night game under the floodlights, with beers available to drink during the game.

The Other side is for summer use onmly and is a Huge and World famous Terst Cricket ground which you can sit in peace during the rugby game if you wish, otherwise come her eint he summer and cheer on Yorkshire or England in a great atmosphere, or try and sunbathe and enjoy the Pimm's you smuggled in in your picnic hamper....great day out!
