With as many as 33,000 people trying to get to Pride Park Stadium on a matchday, we are very conscious of the club’s impact on the environment, as well as the disruption caused by matchdays at Pride Park for some of our neighbours.
When making your journey to the Pride Park Stadium we therefore ask you, wherever possible, to consider travel options that will help us to reduce local traffic jams and inconsiderate parking around the stadium.
For supporters unable to travel to the ground in these ways, there is ample matchday parking around Pride Park Stadium, with discounts available for people car sharing in the South car park and DW Sports car park. There are also good connections to East Midlands Airport for supporters travelling from further afield.
