Sixfields Stadium is the 1994 built home ground of lower league team Northampton Town F.C. Before moving to the new Sixfields Stadium in 1994, Northampton Town had previously only had one home ground, the County Ground. It was decided in the mid-1990s that they needed their own space, so a purpose built ground was constructed in the Sixfields area of Northampton. From the team’s formation in 1897 until 1994, Northampton Town played their home games at the County Ground, a stadium they shared with the town’s cricket club.
The Club, nicknamed the Cobblers after the town's long association with the shoe industry, had played at the site since their formation in 1897 and their admittance to the Midland League the year after. From the 2013-2014 season, the ground has also been used by Coventry City Football Club. In 2018 the Sixfields Stadium was renamed the PTS Academy Stadium in a five-year corporate sponsorship deal. This all-seater stadium is located on the outskirts of Northampton. WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR VISITING SUPPORTERS?
