Tips for Visiting Carrow Road #
- On match days arrive at least 30-45 minutes before kick-off to clear turnstiles and find your seat without the last‑minute crush; local public-transport guidance and steward directions cut through neighbourhood traffic better than driving.
- If you can visit on a non-match day, check for stadium tours run by the club-these give access to areas (players' tunnel, press seats, behind-the-scenes) that most match-day visitors don't see.
