I visited this place for the first time early this month for a conference. Twickenham Stadium, the home of English rugby, is an iconic venue that exudes history and excitement. With a seating capacity of over 82,000, it's a formidable stage for international rugby matches, concerts, and events. The stadium's atmosphere is electric, with passionate fans creating an intimidating yet exhilarating environment. Facilities are modern and well-maintained, with excellent food and beverage options. The stadium's design ensures excellent views from all angles, with comfortable seating and ample legroom. However, a major area for improvement is traffic flow during events. Congestion around the stadium can be chaotic, leading to lengthy delays and frustration for attendees. To address this: 1. Enhance public transportation: Increase the frequency and capacity of trains, buses, and coaches to encourage fans to use public transport. 2. Optimize parking and drop-off points: Streamline parking allocation, and designate specific drop-off zones for taxis, ride-hailing services, and private vehicles. 3. Implement efficient traffic management: Employ experienced traffic marshals, utilize intelligent traffic signals, and introduce a contra-flow system to minimize congestion. 4. Promote walking and cycling: Encourage fans to walk or cycle to the stadium by providing secure bike parks and pedestrian-friendly routes. 5. Utilize technology: Leverage real-time traffic updates, mobile apps, and digital signage to inform attendees of traffic conditions and suggest alternative routes. By addressing traffic flow, Twickenham Stadium can further enhance the overall experience for attendees, solidifying its reputation as a world-class venue.

We went to the Summer England vs Wales game and it was well organised especially for dealing with the 74,000+ people that were there. We arrived 2.5 hours before kick off and there was a lot of people but no queue to get in, an hour later there were 20 people deep queues outside to get their bags checked. The gates inside to go up the corkscrew to get to your seats opened about an 1.5 before kick off. A Guinness was £8, lagers were about £7, A packet of crisps was £1.75 I didn't buy food any substantial food but a hotdog I believe was about £10 and I think a combo meal was around £20. You can buy a max of 4 beers at each purchase, but they do have paper carriers so you can handle carrying 4 beers. There are no cup holders at your seats so your beers will likely be placed at your feet. We were in the Upper 49 section and the vantage point was fine, we could see everything happening. The only thing I wish I would have done was purchased an ear piece so you could hear what calls the ref's were making, no idea on cost of those though. Everything is card payment only and we brought a small mountain warehouse backpack with no issue. The crowds were great and opposing fans were very friendly with each other.

Fabulous place, even the Guinness is markedly improved this year. Only thing I dislike about this stadium is those ridiculous twirly bits to walk up to either end of the south stand, takes a million years, best to ignore and make for the steps. Am absolutely loving the light shows these days - I've watched this stadium evolve over the last 25 years and it just keeps getting better and better. Love the gates with the lyrics to Jerusalem carved into them. On a practical note, it's dead easy to get in, the queues move very quickly. The toilets are clean and plentiful with hot water, and there's always plenty of loo roll and hand towels. Beer is very expensive but always has been comparatively. As I said, the Guinness this year is much improved. Limited choice but something to cater for most tastes. Bar queues can also be long but choose your bar well and you can usually find one with hardly anyone there. Plenty of food and drink on offer with a huge choice, expensive but that's to be expected. Fun fact: it's one of the only stadiums in the world where you can walk a full circuit from your seat without needing to exit the stand.

Attended Twickenham Stadium for the first time, and what an epic experience it was! From start to finish, everything about the visit was fantastic. The security and food/drink staff were exemplary, providing excellent service with a smile. The accessibility and cleanliness of the toilets were commendable, and the stadium itself was impeccably maintained. However, I must deduct a point due to the recurring sewage odour while waiting in the drinks queue—an unfortunate blemish on an otherwise flawless visit. Nevertheless, the pre-game entertainment was top-notch, setting the stage for an exhilarating match. Special commendation to the staff who guided visitors from the train station to the stadium seamlessly, enhancing the overall experience. Despite the minor inconvenience, I'm already looking forward to returning for the next thrilling rugby match. Twickenham Stadium has undoubtedly left a lasting impression, and I can't wait to be back for more unforgettable moments.

Absolutely amazing as always! Top tips 1- bring card no cash, 2- arrive early find seats then go look at everything on offer 3- you will be patted down and bag searched ( no bag bigger than A4 size otherwise you have to pay £5.00 to walk away from ticket station and hand it over) and body wanded at entrance. 4- Food - on the day we attended £4.50 for a small portion of chips alcohol £8.50 for pre mixed cocktails, beer, larger and wine the same price, soft drinks were closer to £4.00. (That includes water at the bar) check at the vendors outside might be cheaper. There is a water station but this seems pointless at the moment as no cups were handed over the bar and not allowed to bring in bottles so whats the point of a water bottle station when you can't use it? 5-Worth getting to sainsburys by the station or Tesco and eat the meal deal beforehand as no food or drink is allowed to be brought in. Happy Twickenham day! Photos are from L16 row 24 seat 169. And BBC.

Got to the front of the queue only to be told my rucksack, normal size, was too big and I had to put it in the bag drop. This involved walking for 15 minutes, all the way to the other side of the stadium and then crossing the road to join a 30 minute queue costing £10 and give over my details for promotional emails. They then search the bag, even though it's over the other side of the road and no where near the stadium, in order to take out your food and drink. Obviously, in an effort to force you to buy it at the stadium. By this time it was half time and my 8yo son was in floods of tears having missed most of the match. We ended up leaving as the day had been spoilt. Making a loss of £190 on our tickets. Very expensive miserable day! Everyone in the very long queue were saying the same thing, putting it in the middle of a long email isn't good enough and it's a money making scheme!! See attached photo for bag drop money scheme.
