The New York Stadium
The New York Stadium (known as the AESSEAL New York Stadium for sponsorship purposes) is located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. It is the home ground of Rotherham United FC since 2012. Rotherham United announced their intention to construct a new community stadium when they moved away from Millmoor to the Don Valley Stadium in May 2008 after a dispute with the ground owner Ken Booth. The name of the stadium was announced as the ‘New York Stadium’ on 19 December 2011, chosen ahead of ‘The Foundry’ and ‘The Waterfront Stadium’. The reason for the name is that the area of land that the stadium lies upon is called ‘New York and it was thought that it would be better to name the stadium after history and/or where the stadium is situated, like nearby stadiums Bramall Lane and Hillsborough.
