Stade Armandie, Rugby union stadium in Agen, France.
Stade Armandie is a rugby union stadium in Agen featuring multiple spectator sections, including the Marathon and Basquet tribunes, with a capacity of approximately 14,500 seats. The venue includes concession stands, restroom facilities, and multiple access points for visitors.
The stadium was named Stade Armandie on 9 October 1921, during a match between SU Agen and Bordeaux EC, in honour of Alfred Armandie, the club's founder, killed at Massiges on 25 September 1915. A first wooden stand 65 metres long, holding 1,500 people, was built by president René Montiès with city, state and public subscription funding. The Ferrasse stand was demolished in summer 2021 and rebuilt with 4,106 seats.
The stadium's name honours Alfred Armandie, a rugby player and founder of SU Agen who died at Massiges in the Marne on 25 September 1915; the ground was christened at the SU Agen–Bordeaux EC match on 9 October 1921. The east embankment behind the try line is still known as the "butte à Bébert".
Payment terminals are available throughout the concession stands, allowing visitors to use bank cards for food and beverages during events. Multiple entrances and sections help ensure comfortable access for people with varying mobility needs.
The roof added to the Lacroix Tribune in 2022 provides spectators with weather protection and represents one of the venue's newest improvements. This modern addition shows how the stadium continues to evolve to enhance the visitor experience.
