Birmingham Bears T20 at Edgbaston Stadium

Edgbaston, home of Warwickshire County Cricket Club, is another of England's iconic Test match venues, known for its passionate crowds and top-tier matchday experience. Here's a full rundown based on visitor experiences. The Guided Tour The guided tour is a highlight in its own right, lasting about an hour and covering iconic spots including the legendary balcony, the dressing rooms, and the historic Pavilion. Standing where so many cricket legends have stood feels genuinely unreal. A particular highlight is seeing the original Ashes trophy small in size, but carrying a huge weight of history behind it. The on-site museum is packed with incredible items, including personal equipment used by some of the greatest players in the game's history — well worth the time for any cricket fan. Views, Seating and Atmosphere Views around the ground are excellent, and it's easy to follow the game from most seats. Seating is comfortable, with a great sightline to the pitch throughout. The atmosphere varies depending on the format of the match, but there's usually a good balance of calm, relaxed watching punctuated by moments of real energy when the game gets tight. For a real touch of occasion, premium seating located right above the players' dressing room made for a very special experience being so close to the players and the action made the match truly memorable. The one downside worth flagging: the ground only has a single big screen, which can make it harder to follow replays and scores depending on where you're seated.

It'll be fantastic when it's finished. My experience was watching a County Cricket match so it could very well be different if going to see England. I decided to walk to Edgbaston from New Street Station which took me under 30 minutes to do the estimated 2 miles. I could have got a plethora of buses or metro links but instead I headed for Pershore Road. To be honest I took up 4 vantage points during the game & 3 were amazing views. The only area I left quickly was the Hollis Stand. I'm not a fan of seeing only one Stump and watching the game side on. There were plenty of food and drink options with quick service. Prices are pretty standard across the Test playing stadia. Don't expect a bargain. The concourse has many historical things to see and read and just off that is a large retail outlet selling all manner of Bears regalia and England stuff. My fave view was the level 4 Utilita Seating section. Take the lift!! If driving parking at the ground is limited due to the construction of a hotel at one end of the ground. Raglan Road is the place to go. It was also nice to get a walk on the pitch at lunch. On the whole a top day out. The 5th star will be added when I don't have to hear drilling or see a dumpster hovering over third man on a crane.

Excellent atmosphere. Went to ind women vs pak women match today. And Netherlands vs Bangladesh. We can watch two matches with one ticket. We booked something called plantinum or something. Around 40 per person. It was a great top view. Can see literally everything from there. Beer was 7.50 per pint. And a pound extra for glass(refundable). Parking. 20 pounds(only during big matches). Hope that helps.

Nice stadium and amazing atmosphere. Went to watch the India vs England 1st ODI match of the series. Amazing atmosphere with the Bharat and Barmy Armies playing the drums and trumpets and singing and chanting together. Would definitely go again. Only problem is train connectivity in the evenings as there were many delays and some cancellations.
