About City Ground

City Ground History

The tale of the City Ground dates back to 1898 when Nottingham Forest FC discovered their lasting residence by the banks of the River Trent. This stadium, named in recognition of Nottingham's newly granted city status, has always stood for the deep connection between the club and the local community.

The most significant change occurred in 1967, when the redevelopment took shape and the stadium took on a profile more recognizable today. Renovations aimed at bringing the facility up to modern standards, and those efforts signaled an ambition that went well beyond the local scene. That's when plans were put in place for City Ground to be not just a home for the club but a modern facility that could host the kinds of events that would make it financially viable.

For decades, the stadium has seen inflammatory contests and the loudest of human sounds — from the roars of joy after Brian Clough's European triumphs (his name now graces the main stand) to the Premier League battles of today. And with its many storied chapters still unfolding, it's already a part of the litany that will bind the historic club to whatever dreams its future may hold.

City Ground Facts and Figures

City Ground can accommodate 30,445 fans, making it one of the more intimate venues in the Premier League. Yet, this compactness somehow manages to amplify the crowd's noise, which is a visiting team's real challenge when playing Forest on their home turf.

In 1992, attendance was recorded at its highest, showing the dedication of fans. Four different stands — Peter Taylor, Brian Clough, Bridgford, and Trent End — provide distinctly studious character and effectively zoned areas for the ground.

City Ground, at once, pays homage to both its architectural heritage and the ever-ascending world of modern facilities. The roof of the Brian Clough Stand is a terrific sight in and of itself — one of those "you just have to see it live" types of things. Up there, you'll see great overhangs for covering the sitters below in any weather, but also a great cantilevered roof beyond the overhangs, so that you get a good view of the stands as you approach the stadium from the pitch.

City Ground Seating Guide

Best seats at City Ground

To see top-quality views, many suggest the middle parts of the upper tier in the Brian Clough Stand. From these seats, play can be seen to develop with an ideal pricing vantage.

If you want to be close to the pitch, Section X1 is the place to be. Its aisle seats are top-notch when it comes to combining immersive viewing with the extra comfort and convenience that being close to the aisle provides.

For those who want sophisticated privileges at their next soccer game, there are tickets to the VIP section. These cost more but include several important elements that make for a better overall experience. First, ticket-holders have access to private lounges, which are far less crowded than the general concourse and offer a number of additional comforts. These lounges are essentially what the concourse should be: well-designed spaces where fans can eat, drink, and commingle before heading back to their seats.

City Ground Seating Chart

There are four primary stands in the stadium. The Brian Clough Stand, the largest, runs along the north side and houses executive areas, with superb sightlines to the pitch. Opposite, the Peter Taylor Stand, also provides great views.

Trent End, located behind the goal to the west, is known for its noisy home support and matchday festivities that verge on the theatrical. It has a steep construction that makes it almost a natural amphitheater, with sightlines enhanced by the fact that the seats are built in a way that hugs the stand, creating a more intimate space.

Seating for persons with disabilities and their companions is located in various places throughout the performance venues. Because this seating is in high demand, it is a good idea to reserve it well in advance of your performance date. However, if you have not reserved accessible seating, you may still be able to to sit in an accessible space if the space is unoccupied at the time of your performance.

How to get to City Ground

Parking at City Ground

Ensuring a spot to park on the day of a match takes planning, demands forethought, and, especially on non-typical game days when lots tend to fill up faster, calls for booking far in advance. The most trustworthy way to guarantee a space is through pre-booking with BigParking, the official partner. That lone strategy can mostly assure one peace of mind regarding parking on match day.

Supporters who are disabled can reserve specific areas at Nottingham Rugby Club, located near to the entry points of the stadium. This is taken care of by the club's liaison officer, as these areas go fast.

Some fans opt for public car parks slightly further away in West Bridgford. These offering reasonable prices and often allowing quicker exits post-match, avoiding the traffic snarls that can ensue when upwards of 28,000 people spill out of the City Ground.

Public Transportation to City Ground

The NET tram network provides frequent match day shuttle service from the Nottingham Train Station, which is the fastest route for train travelers to the stadium. During busy periods, shuttles run every 5 to 7 minutes.

Nottingham city center is linked to stops close to the stadium by several local buses, especially routes 5, 6, and 10, which have extra capacity on match days. For season ticket holders, there are buses that only supporters can use, which run from different suburbs.

It is also possible to walk from the city center or the train station, taking 25 to 30 minutes along a clearly marked route that allows you to go over Trent Bridge with spectacular stadium views and a great opportunity to get in the mood for the match.

Latest City Ground News

The recent contract extension of Morgan Gibbs-White sees Nottingham Forest retain the key player who was the club's Player of the Season last year. That extension, one of Gibbs-White's top moves since signing with the club, keeps the England U21 international and former Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder at Nottingham Forest through at least 2028. It also illustrates how the club is attempting to assemble a young core around which it can build.

The club is in talks behind closed doors about how to redevelop its stadium so that it has the capacity and the fan amenities of a modern venue yet still has the kind of historic legacy that its current home has. Plans are under way — but not so far under way as to threaten the future of their current home — for a stadium that their descendants can inherit.

A friendly against Fulham that is highly anticipated is on the schedule for July 26, 2025. This match, part of the pre-season, gives fans the opportunity to see new signings and any tactical changes made to the team in a low-pressure environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to purchase City Ground tickets?

How much are City Ground tickets?

Ticket prices vary by match and seat. For most Premier League matches, adult tickets cost between £35 and £65. Seniors and juniors pay less. For Category A matches — on the same scale as Category 1 in the UEFA ticketing structure — prices ascend to £45-£75, and the matches can be 15-30% more expensive than our base figures. Ticket prices for Cup matches or friendlies start at around £20. Season tickets are a much better value than paying for individual tickets. Hospitality starts at around £120 per person.

What is the capacity of City Ground?

The City Ground has the capacity to welcome 30,445 fans at any given time. Although there are four stands, the compactness of the City Ground sets it apart, literally and figuratively, from most other English and European stadiums. The four stands — Brian Clough (10,000), Peter Taylor (7,500), Trent End (8,000), and Bridgford (5,000) — combine for a celebratory, intense atmosphere on match days that makes every seat feel like the energy of an echo chamber.

What time does City Ground open on match days?

Most fixtures have gates that open 90 minutes before kick-off, but for our larger games, they can open up to two hours before the action starts. Our hospitality areas are located in different parts of the stadium, but they can open up to three hours prior to kick-off. Aim to arrive at least 45 minutes before the start of the match to ensure you're on the inside when the action starts.
