The home of English rugby was built on the site of a marketgarden in 1908. ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’ caught on after being sung by Douai schoolboys in 1988 as England beat Ireland.
Great high-capacity stadium in need of modernisation. West stand tickets offer the best opening views. Don't buy any food from inside the venue, as it's both a waste of time and money.
Almost every area/seat is great. Annoying when lots of doughnuts keep walking up and down to get more drinks or water the bushes. But fantastic stadium. Great great atmosphere.
I once lived around the corner as a US expat and was often told by my English friends: "Football (soccer) is a gentleman's game played by thugs. And Rugby is a thugs game played by gentleman".
Great stadium. On match day, if you're driving, bring some drinks & food and have a picnic out the back of the car; if not, the food trucks are great too!
