Edinburgh Rugby’s stadium at Murrayfield is a long-standing facility used mainly as a training and match-day venue for the club, with plans and developments dating back to the 2018–2021 period. The latest widely reported milestone was the completion of the new Edinburgh Rugby Stadium adjacent to BT Murrayfield in 2021, creating a purpose-built home for the club with a capacity around 7,800 and a modern 3G surface.[2][5]
Key points:
- Location and purpose: The stadium sits on the BT Murrayfield campus, serving Edinburgh Rugby as their dedicated home ground and training base, near the main stadium.[5][2]
- Capacity and features: About 7,800 capacity (roughly 5,800 seated and 2,000 in safe-standing) with four covered stands, designed for close-to-the-action viewing.[2][5]
- Status since completion: It has been used for training and match purposes, with fan access dependent on broader safety and event guidelines at the time; fan events and official openings were influenced by external restrictions during the pandemic period.[1][2]
