Modern St James' Park in detail
THE 21st century sees the Magpie's famous nest transformed into a towering structure housing 52,387 supporters with facilities the envy of most clubs in Europe.
St James' Park is the oldest football stadium in the North East, football having been first played on the turf as early as 1880. Now, with both Sunderland's Roker Park and Middlesbrough's Ayresome Park disappearing from the map, it is also the traditional home of the game in the region.
