The Darlington Arena (known as the The Northern Echo Darlington Arena due to sponsorship naming rights) is home to Darlington FC who moved there in 2003 from Feethams.

Upon completion the arena was originally called the Reynolds Arena, after the club's then-owner, George Reynolds.

However, after Reynolds' bankruptcy and subsequent imprisonment, the name was changed to The New Stadium in April 2004.

Since then the club have sold the naming rights to sponsors, firstly as the Williamson Motors Stadium and then the 96.6 TFM Darlington Arena between November 2005 and September 2007.

The ground took its current name in September 2007.

Already larger than some Premiership stadiums, the ground has the theoretical potential to be expanded to a capacity of approximately 60,000 seats, although with the club currently in the Conference, such an expansion is highly unlikely.
