A Newcastle United "fan zone" made from shipping containers has been unanimously approved by councillors.
The development, which would have bars, food, large screens and a music stage, will be built on the disused car park near St James' Park Metro station.
It will be made from 50 shipping containers and can host 3,000 people.
The club said it was "delighted", adding the venue would create "a host of economic and employment opportunities for the city centre".
Permission has been granted for the next three years despite concerns from residents and nearby businesses.
