Stadium Access: The residents were treated to a special visit out onto the pitch, providing a unique perspective of the ground for those who had been lifelong supporters.
Community Impact: The Albion Memories program meets monthly at the American Express Stadium (last Friday of the month) or the Foundation's Community Hub (second Friday), offering stadium tours and museum visits to help fans reminisce about classic club moments.
