The American Express Community Stadium, universally known as the Amex Stadium, opened in 2011 as Brighton & Hove Albion's spectacular modern home, marking a triumphant return to top-level facilities after years of uncertainty. Built dramatically into the South Downs landscape with a capacity of 31,800, this architectural marvel features striking white exterior cladding and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Sussex countryside. The stadium replaced both the temporary Withdean Stadium and the beloved but demolished Goldstone Ground, symbolizing Brighton's remarkable journey from near-extinction to Premier League establishment. The venue is renowned for its excellent facilities, family-friendly atmosphere, and the passionate, vocal support generated in the North Stand, which has become the heartbeat of the stadium. Designed with sustainability in mind, the Amex features modern amenities including premium hospitality areas, excellent catering facilities, and comprehensive accessibility features. The stadium has become synonymous with Brighton's incredible Premier League rise under various managers, serving as a beacon of hope and ambition for smaller clubs worldwide, and has quickly established itself as one of the most visually stunning and well-designed stadiums in English football, perfectly complementing the seaside city's vibrant culture.
