Visited for The Hundred recently,Birmingham Phoenix v Trent Rockets and had a fantastic evening at Edgbaston and would recommend the ground to any cricket fan. The stadium is situated in the south suburbs of the city and is a straightforward 30 minute walk from Birmingham New Street Railway Station.

I was slightly confused that i couldnt access the large club shop on the outside of the impressive blue clad South Stand but friendly ticket office staff informed me if i entered at E4-5 (my seat was actually on the other side of the ground) and turn right in the concourse i could access the club shop inside the ground. Scanning of the e-ticket and bag was quick and easy and,as i was entering the ground in the last few balls of the Womens game,getting into the club shop and purchasing items was also easy,with a great selection of T100,T20,and Warwickshire CCC items to chose from. Walked round the outside of the West,Raglan & Family Stands to access the north side of the ground where my seat was,in the Stanley Barnes Stand. As it was such a hot early evening i was glad for the water dispersers and though the concourses are mostly open (except the South Stand) there was plenty of space for food & drink huts around the boundary walls which still left a good amount of room for people to move around and get to their seated areas.

With a majority of the ground bieng open seating a fully unobstructed view of the pitch was on offer however i would point out the Upper Tier of the Eric Hollies Stand does contain a number of slim supporting roof angles and a row of more substantial columns near the rear which will likely cause a big obstruction of the field of play. Having said that,the modern 3D online ticket purchase system should also show up these columns so you know in advance what view you will have.
