Murrayfield Stadium, Rugby union stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland
The stadium features permanent seating for 67,144 spectators across four stands, making it Scotland's largest sports facility and the fifth largest in the United Kingdom.
The Scottish Rugby Union purchased 19 acres from Edinburgh Polo Club to construct Murrayfield Stadium, which opened its gates on March 21, 1925.
Every Scotland national rugby team match draws thousands of supporters who gather to watch international competitions, including the annual Six Nations Championship.
Visitors can reach the stadium via Edinburgh trams from the airport or city center, with the dedicated Murrayfield Station located directly beside the grounds.
During World War II, the Royal Army Service Corps transformed the stadium into a supply depot while still maintaining international rugby matches.
