Memorial Stadium

The Memorial Stadium (the Mem) is a 20th‑century sports ground in Horfield, Bristol, England, opened in 1921 as the Memorial Ground. It has been the home of Bristol Rovers Football Club since 1996 and was the home ground of Bristol Rugby Club until 2014. The site is a compact, urban football and rugby ground framed by covered stands, concrete terraces and a short perimeter separating the pitch from surrounding streets and housing.

As it stood in 2005

What Memorial Stadium looked like in its prime.

A low, rectangular football stand with a wide overhanging corrugated metal roof painted pale blue, tiers of alternating dark-blue and pale seats that form the letters B R F C at the centre, concrete terraces and stairways painted bright yellow at the front, and advertising fascia beneath the seating. The pitch is a closely mown checkerboard turf with close boundary railings; surrounding terraced houses and small urban blocks sit immediately beyond the ground.
