Ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season, newly promoted Sunderland upgraded their premium and concourse spaces at the Stadium of Light.
The overall project included the creation of ‘Banks on The Wear’ – a new 116-cover premium hospitality space, led by Michelin Star restaurateur Tommy Banks. Internally, this latest 3,000 sq ft space features a new bar, premium booth and table seating, lounge space at the entry, external terrace seating, and a new kitchen to support food and beverage operations across the stadium.
’76 Yards’ is then the newest premium bar that replaces the former Black Cats Bar and forms a key part of the club’s enhanced premium offering. Works here included the refurbishment of two new bars, fixed premium booths and table seating, and a new open kitchen kiosk for the new ‘Tommy Banks Pies’ concept.
Finally, the Concourse upgrade works included upgraded kiosks, the introduction of self-service beer technology, and a full cosmetic refresh of the concourse — featuring striking murals that celebrate Club Legends.
