The Kassam could hardly be better for the ambulant disabled or, I would guess, wheelchair users. Parking as close to the turnstiles as it could be if you get there in good time, slightly sloping access into the seating area, seats at entry level with the pitch slightly below. It’s the standard other clubs should aspire to.

We previously bought our tickets from York & didn’t ring Oxford for a parking space as we knew they had a large car park.
We went for lunch at the“Bullnose Morris” pub. Fayre & Square.
Reaching the ground we were directed to a accessible parking space next to the away turnstiles. We bought a cup of tea from a vendor in the carpark. they also sold chips, burgers etc
I couldn’t see the shop anywhere. We were let through a large door next to the away turnstiles & the two others with us came in the same door. The toilets, bar & program stall were just inside.
We were then shown to a raised wheelchair bay, with our own supporters and the carers were brought comfortable armchairs to sit in. Brilliant view – the best in League 2. There were three rows of seats in front of us but they were kept covered up. The stewards were very friendly & helpful and didn’t constantly block our view.
A good day out. thank you Oxford

Ben Warren, who attended Oxford Utd v Gateshead Utd (FA Cup 1st Round) - 09/11/20137 years ago
As a regular disabled season ticket holder for Oxford, I am normally at the bottom of the South stand, right next to the pitch. While the view is good, we were placed right next to an older gentleman who uses a rather large mobility scooter to move around, which can sometimes shield both my own view, and my carer’s view of the left goal. So for something different, seeing as it was an FA Cup game we decided to try out seats in the upper tier of the South stand.
The experience was largely very good. The view was fantastic, and it was quite a novelty finally getting to see the whole pitch for a change! The stewards were very friendly, and offered us tea and biscuits for a small charge at half-time if we wanted them. On an even more colder night I’m sure we’d have said yes! The only thing that let the experience down was trying to exit the stadium once the match was over. We were happy to let the less mobile wheelchair users make use of the lift before us, but the stewards decided that we would be fine using the lift on our own. Unfortunately, this meant the lift was often extremely full with able-bodied people who didn’t have the decency to let me in, or even get out for me. This same situation happened at least five times before there was finally some room for my wheelchair (which is not a large one by any means) to get into it, albeit still packed with people. We were stuck up there on our own for at least 15 minutes, and the lift was extremely temperamental, often returning to the same level it had just come from for no apparent reason. If the steward had stayed with us just a minute or two longer, I’m sure these problems wouldn’t have happened.
As for access leaving the bottom of the South stand from our usual seats, it is pretty good. Just a short push required to the disabled parking. The parking is good, but I would advise arriving at least 1 hour 30 mins before kick off, as the spaces fill up surprisingly quickly. However, the few occasions we’ve not been able to take an initial disabled parking space, the stewards have always been very helpful in finding a different space for us, sometimes ending up with a better space than the disabled ones!
All in all, the Kassam Stadium is an extremely pleasant place to come and watch Football, with a friendly but passionate crowd, good access at all levels, and good parking. Though if you decided to take a seat in the upper tier, expect a fairly lengthy waiting time when exiting the stadium, though the view was most definitely worth it.

We found the facilities very good and the sterwards were all very friendly. We were with our own supporters which was great.
Parking They have disabled parking, and I would advise any disabled people to phone the club before you go and let them know you are coming. it is a large carpark with one way in and one way out, it took us about 30 mins to get out of the carpark.
Have you got a question, complement or complaint?
