The Avenue Stadium, Football stadium in Dorchester, England
The Avenue Stadium is a football stadium in Dorchester with a large all-seated main stand on one side and three smaller terraced sections surrounding the natural grass playing field. The ground holds roughly 5,000 spectators and features clearly organized seating areas with good views of the pitch.
The stadium was built in the late 1980s and opened its doors to spectators in 1990. Its construction was part of a broader sports development initiative for the Dorchester region.
This stadium serves as the home of Dorchester Town Football Club and holds a central role in the town's sports community. Fans gather here regularly to watch matches and support their local team.
The stadium is located on Weymouth Avenue in southern Dorchester and is relatively straightforward to reach. Visitors should be prepared for varying weather conditions and dress accordingly, as some areas include open terraced sections.
The playing field rests upon an unusual foundation: around 32,000 tons of chalk lies beneath the grass at varying depths, keeping the field perfectly level and providing exceptional drainage. This system allows the surface to remain in excellent condition even during wet weather.
