Stadium Info
The bowl-shaped Kingston Communications stadium contains a continuous single tier of seats with a second tier on the west side and its current capacity is 25,504. Without a single bad seat in the house it's a great place to watch football and was voted football league stadium of the year in 2006.
Away Fans
Visiting supporters are situated in the North stand end behind one of the goals. The views are unrestricted and like the leg room and facilities, are exactly what you'd expect from a new stadium. A maximum allocation of 2,500 tickets can be made available but this number is generally kept to about 1,800.
Where To Drink
There's a few pubs surrounding the ground but the majority are home fans only. Simon Laughlin tells me: Away fans are welcome to drink in the Walton Street Club which is situated opposite the walton st car park. There is a £1 door charge for non members and serves excellent food and drink. There's a TV, pool table, darts board and colours are more than welcome.
There's plenty of pubs on Princes Avenue which is about a 10/15 minute walk from the ground. These have a more friendly 'cafe bar' vibe, but colours should still be kept to a minimum.
There's takeaways dotted around near to the ground and Hull is renowned for it's fish and chips. Try a 'patty', the local speciality, if you get chance!
Parking
There is a large car park at the stadium available at a cost of £5 per car, which you can enter from Walton Road. Like many other stadium car parks, it can be a slow process to get away again after so advice would be leave early enough to beat the crowds. Street parking is findable but resident parking schemes are in progress so be aware of where you're leaving your car.
By Train
The nearest / closest train station to Hull City's Kingston Communication Stadium is Hull Paragon and it's a 15 minute walk away from the ground. The walk is a simple one: leave through the south side of the station and turn right onto Anlaby Road and continue walking along here until you reach the stadium.
Hull Paragon Station is well connected from most mainline stations in the North and South.
