“Was here before the Bournemouth game and the atmosphere was electric! The change to drinks was extremely impressive considering how many people were there. I would recommend coming early (12:30) on a day with a 3 pm kick-off! It gets really crowded after 1:30 – 2:30 pm. The line for admission went down the block – it’s a “one out one in policy”.
