Amex Stadium, September 2011: A New Era for Brighton & Hove Albion FC This evocative photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the September 2011 opening of Amex Stadium, the new home of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club. The sleek, modern stadium, located in Falmer, Brighton, was a long-awaited replacement for the aging Goldstone Ground. The construction of Amex Stadium began in 2009, and the project cost an estimated £385 million. The stadium's design, by architects HOK and KSS Design Group, is a blend of contemporary and traditional elements, reflecting the rich history of Brighton & Hove Albion FC. The main stand, named after the club's legendary manager, Brian Clough, features a striking, angled roof that resembles the sails of the nearby boats in Brighton's famous marina. The opening of Amex Stadium marked a new chapter in the club's history. The first match, played against Preston North End, ended in a 1-1 draw. However, the result was secondary to the occasion, as fans and players alike celebrated the club's new home. The stadium has a capacity of 30,750, making it one of the largest football grounds in the English Championship. Amex Stadium has since become an integral part of the Brighton & Hove Albion community. It has hosted numerous events, including concerts, conferences, and charity functions. The stadium's proximity to the American Express headquarters in nearby Crawley has also led to it being referred to as 'The Amex. ' This photograph serves as a testament to the passion and determination of Brighton & Hove Albion fans, who waited decades for a modern stadium to call their own. Amex Stadium is more than just a football ground; it's a symbol of hope, progress, and the indomitable spirit of the Seagulls.
