Around the ground there is a huge ASDA and an IKEA, each with a cafe. The ASDA at points can get ridiculously packed and paying can take a long time as the staff are extremley slow and behind the cigarette counter often only have one or two staff members serving.
There is a McDonalds and KFC to the east side of the ground, and despite them both being over full most of the time the staff are actually very fast and professional at their job so don’t feel the need to avoid either if they look full.

Around the ground the home fans are incredibly fiendly and you’ll never hear or see anybody keen to partake in any violence, never be worried to show your colours anywhere at Stadium:MK, the supporters are often happy to see the supporters of the away team and almost everybody you stop to ask for something will kindly help you out, or even gladly have a chat. Despite the club being judged to be a bad club, the fans are a credit to themselfs and MK Dons.

Pubs around the ground are limited. Around 10 minutes walk away from Stadium:MK is a pub formally called The Beacon, but now I believe it to be called something along the line sof ‘Inn on the lake’ though don’t take my word.
However despite the lack of pubs around the ground, there is a bar within the ground situated at the West side of the stadium called ‘Red Dot Bar’ where away fans are openly welcome to wear their colours and access the bar without any fuss and again the home fans won’t bother and will gladly chat with you. The prices are okay and affordable, and there are a few seats and tables including a few sofas. It’s a very flash modern bar. They also show 12:00 kick offs on a number of screens and Sky Sports News. I’d definatley reccommend the Red Dot Bar if you’re an away fan coming to Stadium:MK, especially if you’re friendly and willing to have a decent conversation.

Other things around the ground include several money give away sellers called GOAL-DON GOAL as well as programme sellers, there is also a pick n mix candy stall, burger van and box office and club shop each situated at the south west area of the ground.

Inside the ground the home fans are admittedly poor a lot of the time, only a small section of the fans sing, behind the goal and in the corners of the home end, not too many in the Easy+West wings sing so atmosphere is often quiet and usually the away fans are responsible for creating a good atmosphere, though with the stadium being unfinished the sound and accoustics aren’t fantastic, though the PA announcer is frustratingly loud.
There is a small screen behind the away stand displaying the score.
I would suggest you brind a coat and keep as warm as possible as on a winters night (Even a spring evening) he stadium can get ridiculously cold, and if raining the concourse can get extremley wet and hazardous to slips.
The concourse by the way is fantastic and very spaceous and if you decide to leave before half time for a pint you can still see the game as you que.

Seats are fantastic and leather padded, legroom amazing.

Do hope I’ve helped and enjoy your experience at MK Dons.
