Stevenage – Lamex Stadium (Broadhall Way)

lamex-stadium-stevenage

The Lamex Stadium has been the home ground of the recently renamed Stevenage FC since 1980. The ground has a capacity of 7,100, with seating for 3,142. Formerly known as Broadhall Way (and still referred to as such by many fans) the stadium was renamed because of a lucrative sponsorship deal signed with the Lamex Food Group in early 2009.

Although generally modern, the ground retains plenty of character. On the west side is the all-seater, single tier, covered Main Stand. Opposite is the sizeable, covered East Terrace, which is quite steep in nature. Although, in keeping with the remainder of the ground which is relatively new, a gabled roof with a clock opposite the halfway line maintains some historic character. Behind the goal, at the north end of the ground, is a small terrace that is predominantly covered, although there is an open area to one side. At the opposite end of the ground is the Buildbase South Stand, an all-seater, single tier, fully covered stand. Opened in 2001, this stand is allocated to away fans. It has an electronic scoreboard on its roof. With Stevenage securing promotion to Football League Two as Conference champions in 2009-10, the Lamex Stadium hosted League football for the first time in the 2010-11 season.
