Sergio Lanfranchi Stadium was a sports stadium in Parma, Italy. The Parma Rugby team played games at the stadium. The American football team Parma Panthers played their games here as well. The stadium is described and referenced in the book by John Grisham called Playing for Pizza numerous times as the home and practice field for the Parma Panthers. The stadium was demolished in July 2008 because the area was chosen for the building of the European Food Safety Authority. Since then, both cited teams play their home games at the Stadio XXV Aprile.
