EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Stadium of Light in all its glory. Situated on Millennium Way in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, this iconic stadium stands tall as a symbol of sporting excellence. The photograph offers a breathtaking view from the top of the stands in the south-east corner, showcasing the vastness and grandeur of this remarkable structure. Constructed between 1996 and 1997, with further expansion in 2000, the Stadium of Light became home to Sunderland Football Club after nearly a century at Roker Park football ground. Its significance lies not only in its modern design but also as a testament to sports heritage and history. The image highlights the vibrant red seats that adorn most parts of the stadium's interior while contrasting beautifully against the lush green football pitch below. The imposing grandstand dominates the frame, exuding an aura of excitement and anticipation for thrilling matches yet to be played. Simon Inglis expertly captures this momentous architectural achievement through his lens. This print serves as a reminder not only of Sunderland Football Club's new beginnings but also showcases how sport can bring communities together. It is truly an emblematic representation of late 20th-century sports culture that continues to inspire fans worldwide.
