St James' Park borders Leazes Park, which is home to the Georgian Leazes Terrace. This beautiful historic rooftop used to house some of Tyneside's most unique homes. However, being so close to these historic residences will subsequently lead to significant planning difficulties in St. James' Park. Since 1905, the team has struggled to make major improvements to its stadium for this reason. Several plans were made over the years, although most were abandoned due to pressure from protest groups and the rejection of the local council. Despite this, the club was able to expand its capacity in the 1990s and 2000s simply by adding additional stands to the existing ones. In 2005, the stadium also acquired a new bar, Shearers, named after team legend Alan Shearer, who spent a decade playing for the club.
