Whether you're a Hull City season ticket holder, an occasional visitor, or an away fan making the trip to East Yorkshire for the first time, this comprehensive MKM Stadium matchday guide has everything you need to know. From travel and parking to food, drink, and atmosphere, we've got you covered for the perfect matchday experience.
By Car: The MKM Stadium is located on West Park in Hull, just off the A63 Clive Sullivan Way. Coming from the M62, follow signs for Hull city centre and then the stadium. The postcode for sat navs is HU3 6HU. Allow extra time on matchdays as traffic around the stadium can be heavy, particularly in the hour before kick-off.
By Train: Hull Paragon Interchange is the main railway station, approximately 1.5 miles from the MKM Stadium. The walk takes around 25–30 minutes, or you can catch a short taxi ride. Direct trains run from London King's Cross, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Doncaster, making Hull surprisingly accessible for away fans.
By Bus: Several local bus services stop near the MKM Stadium, and special matchday shuttle buses operate from Hull city centre on most home matchdays. Check Stagecoach East Midlands for the latest timetables and routes.
Parking is one of the most frequently asked questions about visiting the MKM Stadium. The stadium's official car parks fill up quickly, so arriving early is recommended. The West Park car park is the closest option, but there are also several unofficial parking areas within walking distance. Many fans choose to park in the city centre and walk to the ground.
For those willing to walk 10–15 minutes, residential streets around Anlaby Road and Hessle Road offer free parking, though please be respectful of local residents. Park and Ride services are also available on selected matchdays.
Hull City tickets can be purchased online through the club's official website, by phone, or in person at the MKM Stadium ticket office. Prices vary depending on the stand and the opposition, with adult tickets typically starting from around £20–£30 for Championship fixtures. Concessions are available for seniors, students, and under-18s.
Season tickets offer the best value for regular attendees and can be purchased during the annual renewal window, usually opening in the spring. Away fans are allocated the North Stand, which provides excellent views of the pitch and has its own dedicated food and drink facilities.
Hull has a fantastic selection of pre-match pubs that cater to both home and away supporters. The Brickmakers Arms on West Dock Street is a popular choice among home fans, offering real ales and a friendly atmosphere. The Three John Scotts on Carr Lane and Wetherspoons on Paragon Street are also well-frequented on matchdays.
For food, Hull's famous chip shops (or 'chippies' as locals call them) are a must-try. Bob Carver's on Spring Bank has been serving classic fish and chips since the 1950s and is a Hull institution. Inside the stadium, the usual matchday fare of pies, burgers, and hot dogs is available, with Pukka Pies being a particular favourite among regulars.
The MKM Stadium is a modern, 25,000-capacity ground that offers excellent sightlines from every seat. The West Stand is the main stand with the best facilities, while the East Stand is where the most vocal home support gathers. The atmosphere can be electric on big matchday occasions, particularly during evening fixtures and local derbies.
Family-friendly sections are available, and the club has made significant efforts to make the matchday experience welcoming for supporters of all ages. Accessibility provisions are among the best in the Championship, with dedicated wheelchair positions, hearing loops, and accessible toilets throughout the ground.
Most importantly, join the conversation with fellow Tigers fans at Hull City Forum before and after every match. Share your matchday photos, discuss the performance, and connect with supporters from around the world who share your passion for Hull City AFC.
