76 Yards - Sunderland AFC Hospitality at Stadium of Light
Premium social space at the Stadium of Light - North Stand level two, live music, some of the best views in the ground
76 Yards sits on the second level of the North Stand at the Stadium of Light and looks directly over and across the pitch - genuinely among the best views in the ground. It is a modern, relaxed room rather than a formal dining suite, with live music and a mix of seating: high-top tables, low-level lounge areas and fixed premium booths. The space was rebuilt for the 2025/26 season on the footprint of the old Black Cats Bar.

Where you sit
Second level of the North Stand, looking directly over and across the pitch. The room offers high-top seating, low-level lounge areas and fixed premium booths, so a group can choose the shape of its afternoon rather than being placed at a set table.
Lounge access
Access to the 76 Yards space on the second level of the North Stand, with live music and mixed seating throughout. The room was redeveloped for 2025/26 from the former Black Cats Bar, taking in around 8,500 square feet with reconfigured bars and a new open-kitchen kiosk. Exact opening times and what is included vary by fixture, and we confirm both in writing before you book rather than describing them loosely here.
How 76 Yards compares
76 Yards and The Founders are the two Sunderland packages we hold, and they are different in character rather than in tier. 76 Yards is the modern social room in the North Stand with the better view; The Founders is in the West Grandstand, the main stand, and leans on the club's history rather than on the room. Sunderland stock is thin compared with most Premier League clubs, so availability rather than preference often decides it.

76 Yards FAQs
What is 76 Yards at the Stadium of Light?
A premium social space on the second level of the North Stand at Sunderland, looking directly over and across the pitch. It has live music and a mix of high-top seating, low-level lounge areas and fixed premium booths. The room was redeveloped for the 2025/26 season on the site of the old Black Cats Bar, taking in around 8,500 square feet.
Where does the name come from?
It is the distance from the halfway line to the goal, and the room sits at the North Stand end looking down that line. The naming is geometric rather than commemorative.
What kind of seating is in the room?
A deliberate mix - high-top tables, low-level lounge seating and fixed premium booths. It is set up for a group to move around and stand as much as sit, which is the opposite of a banqueting-style suite.
What is included at 76 Yards?
The room, the view and the atmosphere are the package. What is included by way of food and drink varies by fixture and by the release we source, so we confirm it in writing before you book rather than promising a fixed list here. Ask us for the specific fixture and we will tell you exactly.
What is the dress code at Stadium of Light hospitality?
Smart casual in both lounges - neither is formal, and 76 Yards in particular is a modern social space rather than a dining room. Away colours are not appropriate in the home hospitality areas.
Is this official Sunderland hospitality?
The packages are sourced through our network of authorised hospitality suppliers rather than the secondary market, and every booking is confirmed to you in writing before you commit. DN Global is not Sunderland's official hospitality provider and does not present itself as one - what we guarantee is that the facility and inclusions you are quoted are the ones you receive.
Can I book this package for a group?
Yes, though it is worth enquiring early: Sunderland hospitality stock is thinner than at most Premier League clubs and the rooms are smaller, so larger groups need more notice here than elsewhere. Tell us your numbers and your fixture and we will tell you honestly what can be sourced.
How do I get to the Stadium of Light?
The Stadium of Light Metro stop is beside the ground, about five minutes on foot, with St Peter's ten minutes away and Sunderland station roughly fifteen. The Metro back is busy for a while after full time. DN Global can arrange private transfers as part of your package.
