Newcastle United have announced that St. James' STACK, presented by Sela, will open at midday on Thursday 8th August.
After months of work behind the Gallowgate stand, the newly built fanzone will open its doors next week, allowing fans to use the mutli-purpose facility in time for the Sela Weekender (9th and 10th August) and our opening game of the 2023/24 season; a 3pm kick-off against Southampton on Saturday 17th August.
Speaking about the upcoming opening day, CEO Darren Eales said: "St. James' STACK will add another dynamic element to the matchday experience ahead of the season-opening Sela Weekender.
"The vision of creating a bespoke multi-purpose entertainment destination has relied upon a real collaborative effort between Newcastle United and STACK. We're proud of the club's role in bringing a much-loved North East institution back to its original home in the city centre.
"Whether you're a fan attending matches, socialising after work or family seeking entertainment at an upcoming event, the venue will offer something to suit every taste.
"Perfectly positioned in the heart of the community - within the shadow of the Gallowgate End - St. James' STACK will be an excellent addition to both the club and the city."
