Stade des Alpes, Sports and rugby venue in Grenoble, France
The Stade des Alpes is a modern stadium in Grenoble designed to hold approximately 20,000 spectators. Its glass architecture allows views toward the surrounding mountains and creates an open, spacious setting for both football and rugby matches.
Construction began in 2005 to replace the older Stade Lesdiguières, with the new facility opening in 2008. It marked a shift toward a modern sporting venue for the city.
The venue hosts both the football club Grenoble Foot 38 and the rugby team FC Grenoble, making it central to the city's sports culture. Fans from both communities gather here to support their teams during the season.
The venue is located within Paul Mistral Park and features underground parking. Public transportation connections make it easy to reach from different parts of the city.
The facility uses solar panels integrated into its structure to generate electricity for its operations. This approach reflects how contemporary sports venues can incorporate sustainable energy solutions.
