    Large open green space near the ground, good for a pre-match walk.

Transport alert

Midweek kick-off

A 19:45 start in Cambridge means the last realistic train back leaves around 22:15. Check the connection before you buy a ticket.

Ground note

Cambridge's city centre is geared towards tourists and cyclists — road access near the ground is narrow and congested.

Ground note

Match traffic combines with university term-time cycling, so allow extra time on foot and by car.
