About St. Andrews Ground

St. Andrews Ground, officially known as St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park, is a purpose-built football stadium located at 1 Cattell Road in Birmingham. The ground opened on 26 December 1906 and has been home to Birmingham City Football Club for more than a century. It was redeveloped substantially in the 1990s and later renamed to incorporate “Knighthead Park” following the Knighthead ownership era. The stadium is owned and operated by Birmingham City Football Club under Knighthead Capital Management ownership and has an all-seater capacity of approximately 29,000.

The venue is best known as Birmingham City’s long-standing home ground, hosting the club’s league and cup football fixtures across generations of English football. It has also staged numerous Second City derby matches against Aston Villa, along with top-flight and League Cup campaigns that are part of the club’s matchday history. Its event calendar is centered on Birmingham City home fixtures during the football season, typically August through May, with occasional football-related and community events.

St. Andrews Ground is a classic English football ground with four main stands around the pitch, including the Kop and Tilton Road stands behind the goals, giving the venue a tight, local, highly atmospheric character.

Location & Transportation

St. Andrews Ground is located at 1 Cattell Road, Birmingham B9 4NH, GB — in the Bordesley Green / Small Heath area of inner-city Birmingham, close to the city centre and just off the A45 Coventry Road.

Driving and Parking: The stadium is accessible from Birmingham city centre and the wider motorway network via the M6 and A45. Limited on-site parking is available at the ground, with match-day parking priced around £10 per vehicle. Street parking in the surrounding residential areas is restricted on match days, and nearby parking fills quickly, so arriving early is important.

Transit: Bordesley railway station is nearby, while Birmingham Moor Street and New Street stations are within reach in the city centre with onward bus or walking connections. Several local bus routes serve the Cattell Road / Coventry Road area, and a match-day shuttle service operates to and from the stadium.

Rideshare: Drop-off and pickup are available near the ground. After the match, congestion around Cattell Road and Coventry Road is common, so walking a short distance away from the stadium can make pickup smoother.

Nearby Accommodation: The widest choice of hotels is in Birmingham city centre, a short distance from the stadium. Staying in the city centre gives visitors convenient access by car, bus, or match-day shuttle, while lodging in the immediate surrounding area is more limited.

Venue Navigation

St. Andrews Ground is organized as a four-stand football stadium surrounding the pitch, so knowing your stand before arrival helps make entry faster and easier. Supporters enter through the turnstiles assigned to the stand printed on their ticket.

Entrances and Access: Entry is via turnstiles serving the Kop, Tilton Road, Main Stand, and Gil Merrick Stand. Supporters use the entrance and turnstile that correspond to their ticketed stand.

Seating Levels: The stadium has four stands around the pitch: the Kop and Tilton Road stands behind the goals, the Main Stand along one side, and the Gil Merrick Stand opposite. The stands are generally single or two-tier, with away supporters typically allocated a section of the Gil Merrick Stand.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and facilities for disabled supporters are provided. Wheelchair positions and accessible amenities are available by arrangement with the club.

Getting to Your Section: Stewards and signage help direct supporters to the correct stand and block. Look at your ticket for the stand and turnstile before arrival, since movement between stands is restricted once inside.

Security & Policies

St. Andrews Ground maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Large bags are discouraged at St. Andrews Ground. Bags may be searched on entry and are subject to size restrictions under ground regulations, so traveling light can help speed up entry.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, pyrotechnics and flares, alcohol brought from outside, large bottles or containers, and items that could be used as missiles are prohibited, consistent with standard English football ground regulations.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once you have entered the ground. Re-entry rules can vary by event and are shown on the event listing.

How Much Do Tickets to St. Andrews Ground Cost?

St. Andrews Ground ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team or opponent, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from standard league football to premium hospitality packages.

For league football at standard Birmingham City home matches, general admission tickets are approximately £20–£40. Pricing can be affected by the opponent, fixture profile, competition, demand, and seat location.

Premium and hospitality packages are significantly higher, typically £75 or more per person. These options are most closely associated with Main Stand hospitality and club-level experiences that include added service or group package elements.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat choice and pricing, especially for high-demand fixtures such as derby matches and high-profile opponents. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise.

Getting Ready for Your St. Andrews Ground Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an open-air football stadium where match-day crowds build around Cattell Road and Coventry Road.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service can be congested around kick-off and full-time with large crowds. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Roads around Cattell Road and Coventry Road and nearby parking fill quickly on match days, and shuttle services operate on match days.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect standard stadium stairs within the stands, along with walking to and from parking and transit on match days.
• Dress in layers. St. Andrews Ground is an open-air stadium, so dress for Birmingham weather, including rain and cold during the winter football months.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Match-day traffic, parking demand, and shuttle timing can all add time to your journey.
• Know your entrance. Look at your ticket for your stand and turnstile before arriving, since entry is by the stand matching your ticket and there is no cross-stand access inside.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
