Stade des Alpes Stadium

Admission: Varies by event (stadium ticketing)

Stade des Alpes is a modern multi-use stadium in Grenoble, France, completed in the early 2010s. It serves as the main venue for the city’s professional football and rugby fixtures.

Spectators attend domestic football and rugby matches, where seating and sightlines are arranged around a natural-grass playing surface. The stadium’s scale and facilities also allow it to host occasional concerts and civic events.

Built to replace older stadium facilities in Grenoble, the venue opened in the early 2010s as part of a city sports infrastructure upgrade. It has since been the principal stadium for local teams and regional sports events.

The stadium sits within Grenoble in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, to the west of the city center and accessible by local transport links and road routes.

• Capacity and opening period: Holds a capacity of roughly 20,000 and opened in the early 2010s, replacing older local stadium facilities.
• Primary uses: Hosts both football and rugby matches and is the home ground for local Grenoble teams in those sports.

• Use Grenoble's tram or bus services to reach the stadium on match days - public transport stops close to Stade des Alpes and avoids the heavy traffic and limited parking in the area.
• Arrive at least 45-60 minutes before kickoff for crowd-control and security checks; this also gives time to find your entry gate and concessions without missing the start.
• Buy match or event tickets in advance for popular games and check the stadium's official site for bag and security rules to avoid being turned away at the entrance.
