Three historic palaces. Two island wildlife sanctuaries. And the most famous royal balcony in the world. St. James’s Park – the oldest Royal Park in London Between 1920 and 1930, plans were drawn up for a double-tiered stand by notable football architect Archibald Leitch. However, after planning disputes, all that was achieved was a small roof over the Leazes Terrace side (Sir John Hall Stand). Floodlights were constructed in the 1950s, with the first match played using them held on 25 February 1953 against Celtic. [16]

As well as the normal Premiership football stadium facilities, the stadium contains conference and banqueting facilities. These comprise a total of 6 suites with a total capacity of 2,050, including the 1,000 capacity Bamburgh Suite containing a stage, dance floor and 3 bars, and the New Magpie Room, on two levels with a pitch view. [56] Towards the end of the decade, negotiations between the club and council took place to transform SJP into a 70,000 capacity multi-purpose stadium but the project was shelved after being deemed not to be financially viable. It is a measure of their forward-thinking that they are starting to target some of the best young players in global football. 18-year-old Australia international Garang Kuol was signed last year and Eddie Howe has spoken of a “shift in focus towards youth” and developing players. During the 1920s, the terracing at the Leazes End was covered. This was actually part of much more ambitious plans to redevelop SJP. The renowned football ground architect Archibald Leitch drew up plans for covered stands on all four sides. The plans were shelved due to disagreements between the club, council and local residents. Had the project gone ahead, SJP would have born a strong resemblance to the Leitch-designed Goodison Park.Following the end of the war, attendances surged across the country with Newcastle’s gates being amongst the best in the country despite the club’s Second Division status. This prompted the club to propose constructing a new stand at the Leazes End, which would further increase capacity to 80,000. Unfortunately, agreements could not be reached and so the plans did not come to fruition. However, one slight improvement that came during the 1950s was the installation of floodlights, which were first put to use in a friendly v Celtic on 25th Feb 1953.

The Falcons would return the following year to host Sale Sharks on 23 March 2019. [76] Charity matches [ edit ] The Milburn stand and Leazes end are double tiered, separated by a level of executive boxes; The East Stand and Gallowgate End are single tiered, with boxes also at the top of the Gallowgate. The three newest sides, the Milburn Stand, Leazes End and Gallowgate End are of structural steel frame and pre-cast concrete construction. [2] In common with many new or expanded British football stadiums, the traditional box shaped 'stands' were augmented in the 1993 expansion by filling in the corners to maximise available seating, [15] up to a uniform height. The Milburn Stand and Leazes End now rise higher than this level, covered by a one piece cantilevered glass roof. A further smaller stand section rises above this level behind the Gallowgate End.

Post-millennium it has been debated both whether the written name should include an apostrophe mark after St James, [45] and, if it does, whether the official written form should include an extra 's' after the apostrophe. [50] Pronunciation of the name with a second 's' sound or not differs between both the local public and journalists, and is similarly debated. [45]

King James I also kept a collection of exotic animals in St. James’s Park, including camels, crocodiles and an elephant. His large number of exotic birds were housed in aviaries along the road that is now known as Birdcage Walk.
