Sheffield Shark

Location – The Sheffield Sharks play in the English Institute of Sport Sheffield, next to iceSheffield. It’s about 10 minutes from Sheffield City Centre and less than 5 minutes from Centretainment. This means that there is a good range of places to get some food or drinks nearby and there are two hotels (Ibis and Premier Inn) a short walk away.

We drove up from London but the venue can also be accessed by public transport – buses and trams both stop near the venue. If you are travelling to an away game I advice checking train/bus times carefully to make sure you can get back after the game.

The Venue

The Venue is a good size. It’s a slightly interesting layout as you enter the seating area through a corridor where you collect your tickets and can purchase a programme or some snacks.

Concessions

The usual range of soft drinks, beer and snacks are available.

Seats

The seats are padded and comfortable. There is seating along both sides of court – away fans are seated behind the away team bench.

Atmosphere

On my recent visit to the Sharks the venue was not very busy but you could hear some of the home fans cheering.
