The Stadium Of Light was opened by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on 30 July 1997 following the clubs move from Roker Park, just over 1km to the north-east and their home for the previous 99 years. The opening of the stadium was marked with a friendly against top Dutch side, Ajax as well as short sets from a number of bands, including Status Quo.
The stadiums original capacity was 42,000, and an expansion in 2000 took the capacity to it's current level of 49,000. The record attendance of 48,353 was set on 13 April 2002 when Liverpool visited for a Premier League match.
