Parking

 

Some street parking is available near to the Stadium if you arrive there in good time.  Alternatively it will cost you £3.00 to park in the Club Car Park next to the Stadium. 

 

Another alternative is to park in the car parking area which serves the Cinema and Bowling complex behind the Stadium.  However, fans are advised that it may be best to check the legality of parking here before actually doing so.

 

By Road

 

From the A1(M), join the M18 eastbound at Junction 35 (signposted Hull) or from the M1, join the M18 eastbound at Junction 32 then you have two options…….

 

The Easy Peasy Brown Sign Option:

§          Follow the Brown Tourist Signs for Doncaster Racecourse which is next to the Earth Stadium. 

 

The Complicated Roundabouts Option:

§         Leave the M18 at Junction 3 and at the top of the slip road take the left-hand (first) exit onto the A6182 (signposted Doncaster). 

§         Go straight on at the next two roundabouts taking you past McDonalds. 

§         At the next roundabout, go right and then straight ahead at the following two roundabouts.

§         Take the 2^nd exit on the right at the traffic island.

§         This takes you onto a dual carriageway from which you go straight over the next roundabout (by another McDonalds).

§         At the next roundabout turn left onto the A638.  The Stadium is on the left hand side as is the Car Park Entrance.

  

By Rail

 

Doncaster railway station is a little under two miles from the Stadium so a taxi is recommended as the best way to reach the Stadium from there as the walk will take twenty to twenty five minutes.
