Stripes at the Stadium of Light

The Stadium of Light from above, the stands transformed into a sea of red and white as the card display wraps around the pitch. An aerial portrait of Sunderland’s home in full matchday colour. The Stadium of Light has been the home of Sunderland AFC since 1997, replacing the club’s historic Roker Park ground. Standing on the banks of the River Wear, it holds 49,000 supporters and remains one of the largest football stadiums in England.
