Gateshead International Stadium is the third largest stadium in Tyne and Wear, with a capacity of 11,800 people.
It is home to various sports clubs, including Newcastle United Women, Gateshead FC and Gateshead Harriers. Historically, it was home to both Newcastle Thunder and Gateshead Senators.
The stadium has been, and still is, host to many great national and international sporting events, including athletics, rugby and football. Five world records have been set at the stadium, including two by pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva and a tied 100 metres record by Asafa Powell in 2006. Over the years, it’s also been the main stage for major rock and pop concerts, hosting such famous faces as Bon Jovi, Tina Turner, Van Halen, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and more.
Gateshead International Stadium is also now managed by GLL, under the name Better.
