Football Stadiums Ranked by Google Ratings

A recent survey of Google reviews for football grounds has identified the highest‑rated and lowest‑rated stadiums across the English leagues. The data, compiled by Pete Tomlin, who examined every home ground in the Football League, shows a narrow rating range from 4.0 to 4.7 stars. Tomlin’s findings were prompted by a curiosity expressed by Will Unwin, who noted that Hull City’s stadium holds a 4.3‑star rating from 3,655 reviews and wondered which venues received the best and worst public feedback.

Tomlin’s methodology involved recording each ground’s star rating and the number of votes it received. When ratings were identical, the venue with the greater number of votes was ranked higher. The analysis revealed that the nine highest‑rated stadiums are all Premier League clubs, underscoring a trend that larger, more successful clubs tend to enjoy better fan reviews. Hull City’s 4.3 rating sits comfortably in the middle of the spectrum, illustrating the competitive nature of fan perception across all tiers of the game.

The study offers a snapshot of how supporters evaluate their matchday experience and highlights the importance of stadium quality for club reputation. It also invites further discussion, with Tomlin encouraging readers to submit questions and answers about the data.
