With the sixth largest capacity of any football stadium in England, The Stadium Of Light has been Sunderland’s home since they left the much loved Roker Park in 1997. The stadium hasn’t just been used for Sunderland matches, though; it’s also been the location of England international games and numerous concerts. As for the Black Cats themselves, they have a number of noteworthy achievements to mention. They have won the top-flight league six times, although the most recent was in 1936, so it’s not much for their fans to get excited about. They won the FA Cup in 1937 and 1973 and after their promotion back to the Premier League in 2007 they went on to become the 31st richest club in the world.
