The Saunders Honda Stadium (formerly the Deva Stadium) is a football (soccer) stadium in Chester, UK and the current home of Football League Two team Chester City.
The stadium was built in 1991 and was the first football stadium in England to fulfil the safety recommendations from the Taylor Report, which was commissioned after the Hillsborough disaster of 1989. The stadium has a capacity of 6,012.
Housed some way from the city centre in the Sealand Road Industrial Estate, the stadium is notable for crossing the English/Welsh border; most of the ground (apart from half the East Stand and the club offices) is in actually situated in Wales.
