A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on April 15, 2009 and April 15, 2010. |
The sponsorship of each stand (except the South Stand) was quite out of date, so I have updated them today to reflect the new sponsors (ASD Lighting, Carlsberg Lager and www.MySheffieldJobs.co.uk). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.202.151 (talk) 18:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
The crow's nest is the area of the kop which juts out around one of the roof supports adjacent to the north stand, which looks (a little bit) like a ship's crow's nest - have deleted the reference —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.118.28.67 (talk) 06:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Several nicknames have been added to this article within the past few days. These include Hillybo, The Owls nest, The Aviary and Owlerton. Whilst I accept that Owlerton is the old name for the ground, I have never heard Hillsborough being referred to as Owlerton in modern times. Similarly I have not heard any of the other nicknames listed. I could be wrong; if so please add a reference to the edits, otherwise I will keep reverting them.

Shouldn't the introductory paragraph mention the Hillsborough Disaster? That's the event most indissolubly connected with the ground for most people. Gunstar hero 10:37, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
As far as I am aware, the North west corner of the ground is closed due to Health and Safety. It was certainly empty when I was there for the Derby - surely when it's most likely to be full? L.J.Skinnerwot|I did 11:20, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Seems odd to say it was named after the constituency; surely both the stadium and constituency were named after the neighbourhood? --VinceBowdren (talk) 00:43, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
