Murrayfield Stadium is a major sports stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland, primarily used for rugby union and serving as the home ground of the Scottish national rugby team. It opened in 1925 and has been redeveloped and modernized several times.

The venue hosts international rugby fixtures, domestic matches, and occasional concerts and large events. Its bowl-style seating arrangement provides uninterrupted views and facilities for tens of thousands of spectators.

The stadium has staged major international matches and home fixtures for the Scottish Rugby Union and is a focal point for national rugby in Scotland.

Murrayfield is in the Murrayfield area on the city’s west side, approximately 2.5 kilometers from the city centre and accessible by public transport and on-site parking on event days.

• Capacity: Official seating capacity is around 67,000, making it Scotland’s largest sporting venue by capacity.
• Location and transport: Located about 2.5 kilometers west of Edinburgh city centre and served by tram and bus links for matchdays and events.

Murrayfield Stadium is west of central Edinburgh. You can reach the area by train to Haymarket station (served by ScotRail) or by Edinburgh Trams to Haymarket, then either walk (about 15-20 minutes) or take local Lothian Buses that serve Murrayfield on match/event days. On major event days there are usually additional bus and rail services and sometimes special train stops at the Murrayfield Stadium rail halt.

• On match days, check your ticket for the assigned gate and arrive 60-90 minutes before kick-off to avoid heavy local traffic; post-match dispersal is efficient but concentrated, so plan your onward travel in advance.
• Public transport is the easiest way to reach Murrayfield-use scheduled Lothian buses serving the stadium and Haymarket station as your rail hub rather than driving and searching for limited parking.
• If you want a quieter visit, book one of the official stadium tours (advance booking recommended) on a non-match day; tours typically include dressing rooms and the museum and avoid the noise and restrictions of event days.
