Or the shelf, or N2A... Thinking of giving it a go for a game, any first hand experiences out there?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Anyone sat in the North Upper before??

Great views. Usually designated family area which means you need to go with a kid.
Often large groups of kids (school parties). The kiosks don’t serve booze.

Cheers, lack of beer probably rules it out then. Glad I asked...

You can just walk down to the north or west concourse for a beer once you are in.
How can a corner be the best view ?

That changes things, I assumed it wouldn't be connected to any other stands. Back on, thanks!

Yeah, another vote for the shelf. Went with the missus to the West Ham game and was sat there - with the U23s in front of me, and next to the Women's team (THAT was a chore, I can tell you, to have them sat next to me, shuffling past me at various points...)
Great view, low queuage for toilets and refreshments (albeit limited) and recommend it.

It isn't as such. You walk down one flight of stairs then out into the north west corner seating area and then down into north or west.
Edit. When I did this I came out in the n1a entrance of the north.

I've been there a couple of times this season, and thought the view was very good. A view from the corner is pretty good when the elevation is right, and you are not a mile back from the pitch, like Wembley. refreshments were a bit disappointing, and quite why they just have one very busy girl working the upper refreshments kiosk when they've sold out the tickets does make you wonder about people making staffing decisions. But overall, I like the spot.
Not sure about the access to North and West Concourses, as someone else mentioned. I didn't go hunting, but I certainly didn't notice a way through.

Presumably there needs to be more than one way in or out for fire regs.
Best view I've had from a seat at the Amex, not necessarily the best view at the Amex. I've not sat on 2nd or 3rd tier of East or West so that might be a lot better. But from the N2, you get a great sweep of the pitch from a good elevation so you can see everything - even though you are a long way from the South end. You're also v close to the North so the atmosphere is good.
It doesn't offer the best view IN the stadium (of the action), but it does offer the very best view OF the stadium - seriously - the place looks EPIC from there.
was there once for the palace league game, great views, close to the atmosphere, and as said, often used by U 23's , ladies team etc apparently.
any half time refreshments didn't seem worth the hassle, ( I do normally like a beer...), but wasn't a problem for one match, was straight into north concourse after the match

Was there for the egg chasing thing and found myself about 5 rows from my ST seat. Easy access to the north stand concourse and beer. Good view too.

I sat there for the Palace play-off debacle. Never again.
