Bringing Your Family to see Oxford United
Young fans at Oxford United are hugely important to the club and we are very proud to have won several awards for our family-friendly approach.
The Family Stand section of the North Stand is a dedicated area providing great seats to watch the game from for the perfect family day out.
To ensure that the family atmosphere in this area is encouraged and maintained, all fans wishing to
buy tickets in this area must have a junior within their group (proof of age may be required).
Look out as well for Olly and Olivia the Ox, who will be around the stadium and are always happy
to sign autographs and pose for photos.
We have three helpful guides you can download to get the most out of your visit:
SENSORY ROOM
We have a bespoke Sensory Room for young fans who maybe need to take a little time out on a matchday with our fully trained helpers. Just ask a steward if you would like to use it.

The stadium has unreserved spaces for around 2,000 cars at each game. Parking is free of charge and on a

There is some road parking near the ground with spaces between the stadium and the Watlington Road
roundabout. All supporters attending games are asked to respect the residents-only schemes that operate in
the nearby streets and not to park on the double yellow lines on approach roads.
The lines do include the grass verges along the edge of the road and the club will not accept responsibility for
any parking tickets issued to motorists who park there.
