Rodney Parade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rodney Parade is a multi-use stadium in the city of Newport, South Wales. It is currently used mostly for rugby matches and is the home ground of Newport RFC and Newport Gwent Dragons. The stadium holds 11,700 people. In 1875 the Newport Athletic Club was created, and two years later they secured the use of land at Rodney Parade from Lord Tredegar for their cricket, tennis, rugby and athletics teams.

The cricket pitch at the ground was the home of Monmouthshire County Cricket Club between 1895 to 1934, and between 1935 and 1965 held first-class Glamorgan games.
