Stevenage are based at Broadhall Way, currently known for sponsorship reasons as the Lamex Stadium. The club rose from non-league football into the Football League and has built a reputation for resilience, organisation and punching above its weight. Stevenage represent Hertfordshire with a compact, direct matchday feel.
The Lamex Stadium, still commonly known as Broadhall Way, is a compact football ground on the southern side of Stevenage. It has developed gradually rather than through one complete rebuild, so the stadium has a mixture of newer seated stands and more traditional lower-league features. That mix gives it a practical, unfussy character rather than the uniform feel of a modern bowl.
The North Stand is the most recent major addition and gives the home end a more modern, enclosed feel than older versions of the ground. The Main Stand runs along one side and contains the principal seating, hospitality and club facilities. Opposite is the East Terrace, a long standing terrace that gives the stadium much of its traditional lower-league feel. Away supporters are normally located in the South Stand behind the goal.
The Lamex is not a large stadium, but it is close to the pitch and easy to understand once inside. The ground can feel lively when the home terrace and away end are both active, and the surrounding open space near the A602/A1(M) side of Stevenage makes it easier to approach than many tight urban grounds.
A Bedfordshire-Hertfordshire rivalry where Stevenage treat Luton as a major local scalp and Luton feel the pressure of avoiding an upset.
Away supporters are normally housed in the South Stand at the Lamex Stadium. This is a covered seated stand behind one of the goals and is the established visiting section for league fixtures. The usual allocation is suitable for most League One away followings, though the final number can vary depending on demand, safety arrangements and whether any additional seating is made available elsewhere.
The South Stand is reached from the away side of the ground, with visiting supporters following the turnstile and steward directions issued for the fixture. The stadium is compact and the approaches can become busy close to kick-off, especially when away coaches and walking supporters arrive together.
The view from the away end is generally good because the stand is modern and behind the goal. It is not a huge end, so high-demand games should be bought in advance. Away disabled supporters should book early, as the club lists only a small number of wheelchair spaces in the South Stand.

Luton Airport is the closest practical airport for Stevenage. A taxi from the airport to the ground can be the simplest answer if there are several of you. By public transport, use the shuttle to Luton Airport Parkway and connect by rail towards Stevenage.
The ground is south of Stevenage town centre, so from Stevenage station it is usually easiest to finish by taxi. The distance is not huge, but the route is not as direct as it looks when you are trying to make kick-off.
Stansted Airport is also viable for Stevenage, especially for European low-cost routes. Rail connections usually mean heading through the regional network rather than crossing central London, so check the exact route for your arrival time.
It is a good alternative if Luton prices are poor. From Stevenage station, take a taxi or local bus to the ground rather than leaving the final stretch to chance.
SB8 is one of the useful local bus services for Stevenage supporters heading towards the Lamex Stadium area from Stevenage bus station. It is a practical option if you arrive by rail and want to avoid the walk along the dual carriageway side of town.
The ground is not far from the station by taxi, but bus services such as SB8 can be good value if the timings work. Check the latest local timetable before travelling, especially for midweek matches.
Stevenage have previously used matchday shuttle arrangements between the station or bus station and the Lamex Stadium. When running, this is the easiest public transport option because it is aimed directly at football traffic.
Do not assume it operates for every fixture. Check Stevenage FC's matchday information before travel, particularly for evening games, cup ties or fixtures moved at short notice.
A taxi from Stevenage station to the Lamex Stadium is short and usually inexpensive compared with many away-day stadium transfers. It is the best option if you are arriving close to kick-off, have luggage or do not want to work out the local bus network.
After full-time, walking a little away from Broadhall Way or using a pre-booked cab will normally be easier than relying on immediate availability outside the stadium.

After full-time, move away from Broadhall Way before booking if the stadium roads are busy.
Stevenage Taxis are another local option for supporters travelling from the station, hotels or nearby villages to the ground. They are also useful if you are arriving from Luton Airport and want a direct local transfer.
Pre-booking is sensible for evening games, especially if you need to make a train after the match.
The Lamex Stadium has limited on-site or nearby matchday parking, with the Fairlands Valley side of Stevenage often used by drivers looking to park within walking distance. Follow local signs and avoid residential streets where restrictions apply.
Expect small matchday charges where parking is managed. Arrive early because the ground sits close to busy leisure and residential areas.

Stevenage is relatively straightforward by road, with the Lamex Stadium close to major routes including the A1(M). The club advises that free matchday parking for around 500 cars is available at Fairlands Valley car park to the north of the ground, which is clearly signposted when entering Stevenage. Supporters should still arrive early because this parking can fill for bigger fixtures.
Stevenage railway station is walkable, but it is not right outside the ground. The walk is usually around 20 to 25 minutes depending on route and pace, so allow time if arriving by train. Taxis and local buses can also be useful, especially in poor weather.
For neutrals, the Main Stand gives the best seated view, while the East Terrace gives the most traditional lower-league feel. The North Stand is the newer home end. The stadium is compact and easy once you are inside, but check parking and ticket arrangements before travelling.
Stevenage sell home match tickets through the club's official online ticketing system and ticket office. The Main Stand gives the best seated side-on view, while the East Terrace gives a more traditional standing experience. The newer North Stand is a good option for supporters who want to be in the home end behind the goal.
Away tickets are normally sold through the visiting club for the South Stand allocation. Visiting supporters should check their own club's ticket news for sale windows, prices, collections, digital ticketing and whether any on-the-day sales are available. Stevenage have sometimes allowed away supporters to buy on the day from the stadium, but this should never be assumed for high-demand fixtures.
Disabled away tickets and wheelchair spaces should be arranged early because the South Stand away wheelchair provision is limited. Supporters using digital tickets should have them ready before reaching the turnstiles.
The Lamex Stadium operates standard EFL ground regulations. Supporters should expect ticket checks, stewarding and searches where required. Pyrotechnics, smoke bombs, offensive weapons, alcohol brought into the stadium, discriminatory abuse, throwing objects and entering the pitch are prohibited.
Supporters should use the entrance, stand and section shown on their ticket. Away fans should remain in the South Stand allocation and follow steward instructions around the away turnstiles and exits. The Broadhall Suite may be open to both home and away supporters for some fixtures, but access and closing arrangements can vary by match.
Because parking is directed away from the stadium itself for general supporters, fans should respect local roads, Fairlands Valley parking arrangements and any traffic management around Broadhall Way.
Stevenage provide dedicated disabled supporter information for the Lamex Stadium. The club lists 14 wheelchair-user spaces in the North Stand for home disabled supporters and four wheelchair-user spaces in the South Stand for away disabled supporters. Away disabled supporters should therefore book early through their own club.
The South Stand wheelchair positions are limited and exposed to the weather, so supporters should plan clothing and assistance accordingly. The club has previously noted that blankets and ponchos can be provided when conditions deteriorate, but this should not replace proper preparation for bad weather.
Disabled supporters requiring accessible parking, companion tickets, accessible toilets or specific assistance should contact Stevenage or their own club before travelling. The stadium is compact, but the availability of accessible places is the key issue.
Stevenage FC Foundation advertise stadium tours of the Lamex Stadium for groups who want to learn more about Stevenage Football Club and experience a professional football club environment. These appear to be group or community-focused tours rather than a regular walk-up tourist attraction.
Supporters interested in a tour should contact Stevenage FC Foundation or the club directly to ask about availability, group sizes, dates and access requirements. Do not assume tours run every week unless they are specifically arranged in advance.
