Christened the AESSEAL New York Stadium, home to Rotherham United, this recently opened stadium offers a superb range of suites and exceptional catering for the perfect setting for all private and corporate functions. The first game at this brand new venue in South Yorkshire was at the beginning of the 2012-2013 season.The name New York Stadium derives from the area in which the new stadium is based. The old Guest and Chrimes Foundry made the distinctive fire hydrants which are now dotted around the streets of New York.Chairman Tony Stewart and Honorary Ambassador and 2010 World Cup final referee Howard Webb formally announced New York as the name of the £20m landmark venue in December 2011.
