Blast+ Stand, Northampton: view, shade and what to expect

Blast+ is Northamptonshire’s open western premium-seating choice, surveyed by AccessAble as Blast + Stand – Michael Graham. The older club hospitality map calls this bank Commsave Stand. Check the current product name when booking: the premium reserved seat and facilities depend on the actual fixture, not just the bank’s location.

The view

Open western seating

This bank lies on the western side towards the southern boundary. Its surveyed name is Blast + Stand – Michael Graham; the 2025 club hospitality map uses Commsave. Those labels should be checked against the current ticket product before selecting a place. The survey describes open tiered seating rather than a roofed stand.

Premium seat and facilities

Northamptonshire’s current ticket material includes premium reserved seating with exclusive facilities. For the 2027 England women international, IT20+ explicitly includes an allocated reserved seat, bar and toilets. Its precise bank assignment needs confirming with the club. Do not transfer a past Blast package’s location or inclusion list to every international.

Hevey Suite nearby

The club’s map puts the Hevey Suite beside the western-southern corner. It is separate hospitality, with a terrace and fixture-specific dining, drinks and seating. The April 2026 Championship guide opens its restaurant on days one to three and its decking from the start of play. The access survey distinguishes the terrace ramp from an internal doorway with a single step. Arrange the named room rather than expecting entry with an open-bank seat.

Food, drink and toilets

Blast+ seating itself is all stepped even though a ramp can avoid the entrance steps. If you need a wheelchair position, use one of the designated ground viewing areas and arrange any premium facilities with staff. Reserved bars and toilets apply only where your purchased offer includes them. For ordinary county refreshments, the Championship guide names the Hevey Restaurant, Mushtaq Bar and coffee concession; follow your own match’s opening details.

Who it suits

Blast+ is worth a look if your priority is a planned evening with a reserved seat and the conveniences described in the club’s current premium product. You still get an outdoor cricket view. Practical tip: compare the named package’s facilities with general admission, and bring a layer because this western bank has no roof.
