The stadium was temporary home for Brighton whilst a new stadium was built in nearby Falmer.
Falmer High School was closed on 31 August 2010, replaced by the Brighton Aldridge Community Academy on the same site, sponsored by Rod Aldridge.
Additional matchday-only trains operate to and from Falmer from Brighton and Lewes to serve the Falmer Stadium.
Whilst the top of Newmarket Hill is in the parish of Kingston near Lewes, its northern slopes are in the parish of Falmer, and its southern slopes are in the parish of Rottingdean.
For most of the Younsmere hundred's existence it included the parishes of Rottingdean (including the detached Balsdean chapelry), Ovingdean and Falmer (including Balmer), i.e. the parishes covering a block of downland east of Brighton.
