The American Express Stadium, usually shortened to the Amex, has been Brighton & Hove Albion’s home since 2011. Built into the South Downs at Falmer, it replaced the club’s long period without a permanent modern home and has become one of the Premier League’s most polished mid-sized venues.
What happens here
- Brighton & Hove Albion Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup home matches.
- Selected Brighton & Hove Albion Women and academy fixtures.
- Conference, banqueting and private events through the stadium’s year-round hospitality spaces.
- Occasional major sporting events beyond club football, including international tournament fixtures.
Who runs hospitality and catering
Sodexo Live! operates matchday and non-matchday catering and events at the American Express Stadium on behalf of Brighton & Hove Albion, covering hospitality lounges, kiosks, bars, conference work and the club’s Terrace fan zone.
What’s it like to work here
The Amex is a transport-led stadium: most staff and supporters arrive through Falmer station or park-and-ride routes rather than by driving to the ground. That makes shift planning different from a city-centre venue, but also gives matchdays a very organised rhythm.
Because the stadium is also a busy non-matchday venue, Sodexo Live! offers more midweek hospitality and events shifts than at some older club grounds. For hospitality staff in Sussex, it is the clearest route into top-flight football work without commuting into London.
Other operators
Cleaning, stewarding and event-security contracts can vary by event, especially for non-football fixtures and conference hire.
