Abbey Stadium

Abbey Stadium is on Abbey Road, made famous by the Beatles. OK, that’s not true, it was made famous by Ms Titmuss. Great name.
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — I haven’t seen Cambridge play here yet, but one day I will. However I did wander over here when I was visiting with one of my best friends, Stef. I got to go inside and I have to say I was not impressed at all. However on my second visit (2014) it was gearing up for a home game, and the atmosphere was better. Still a tiny, unenclosed place with lots of wind and not many fans. So I give it a 3.
I’ve been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are from first-​hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I’ll post later. Also, when back in UK I’ll take more pix, and add more stadia!
*** return to regular review ***
Nearly a hundred years old, Abbey Stadium is really just a field with very small stands. It has a little folklore and history, but a team like Cambridge that flirted with the big time, deserves something bettererer and more modern.
Please move the stadium review here that is with the football club, since it’s all about this stadium and the two should be separate as they are on all of the American sports listings on the site.
The only reason the stadium gets a 3 instead of a 2 is because of the open air concert Abbey Aid in 06 which was pretty cool, and managed to save the stadium which hosts the team CUFC (see you!) that is now back in the football league.
