Roker Park

Roker Park

Roker Park was a football ground in Roker, Sunderland, England, which was the home of Sunderland from 1898 to 1997, before the club moved to the Stadium of Light.

The stadium's capacity varied throughout its existence. Originally designed to accommodate 60,000 attendees, its capacity was gradually reduced to around 22,500, of which only a small proportion consisted of seated places. Its highest recorded attendance was, however, significantly higher, with the 1932–33 FA Cup match on 4 March 1933 attracting a record crowd of 75,118.
