Match-Days will get even better

Match-days at Sandy Park are about to get even better with the introduction of a host of new options aimed at enhancing your visit to see your favourite Exeter Chiefs in action.

Looking to build on our award-winning, match-day offering, we aim to take our supporter experience to new levels during the course of the 2019/20 season.

Headlining the new offering will be the Pow Wow Bar, which will offer a superb offering both pre and post-game. The 20m x 25m marquee, which boasts an 18m long bar and three 75” inch plasma screens, will also be the permanent home to the ever-popular Disco Danny.

The new bar will also have a different guest ale each game and will be one of a handful of outlets from which you will be able to obtain our new Centurion Cups.

Each game this season – and next – we will be recognising one of the select few players who have achieved the accolade of playing 100 or more league games for the club.

The limited-edition collection began at the Bath game a fortnight ago with Gareth Steenson, the club’s leading points-scorer of all-time, and will continue with more famous faces of Exeter’s past and present.

The Pow Wow will be one of 16 bars available on match, another being the Wig Wam, which will be serving our new post-game, hot food offering, Big Chiefs Chow.

All of this will be available from our next home fixture against Bristol Bears in the Premiership Rugby Cup on Saturday, October 12 (3pm).

Tickets for this local derby encounter are still available by clicking here, whilst various dining packages for the Chiefs, Exeter and County Suite are also still available.

To also help speed up our delivery of service to supporters attending games, Sandy Park is now a fully cashless stadium.

The most common feedback received on match-days has concerned waiting times and customer service levels in catering and bar areas, so to address this issue, Sandy Park have introduced card and contactless payments for food and refreshments, leading to more efficient service and reduction in queuing times.

The scheme has been trialled previously at various points throughout the stadium, but now it has now been implemented to cover all areas.

Card and contactless payment will be the only method of payment available at all bars and food kiosks, including hospitality lounges, and extra pay-points have been added in many areas.

As well as the on-field action, there will be entertainment aplenty with the creation of the new Otter Brewery Half-Time Challenge, as well as two live bands performing in the Exeter Suite following the final whistle, allowing you to extend your day well into the night.
