Stade André-et-Guy-Boniface, Rugby stadium in Mont-de-Marsan, France.
Stade André-et-Guy-Boniface is a rugby stadium in Mont-de-Marsan, home of Stade Montois. A large covered grandstand with a flat overhanging roof and rows of yellow seats runs along one long side, above a white wall with advertising boards. The grass pitch is edged by a red athletics track, named after Colette Besson, and a metal floodlight tower stands beside the field.
The stadium opened in 1965 under the name Stade Barbe d'Or. It was later renamed to honor the Boniface brothers, who were renowned rugby players from the region.
The stadium serves as the home of Stade Montois Rugby Club and reflects how deeply rooted the sport is in the town's identity. Locals gather here regularly to watch matches and celebrate their team's achievements.
The stadium lies in the Saint-Médard district of Mont-de-Marsan, with the pitch ringed by the Colette Besson athletics track. The covered Benoît Dauga stand holds 3,100 seats and ten boxes, and the Eovest stand behind the north goal adds 2,700 places. Synthetic turf was laid in summer 2023.
The stadium's two side stands were named in January 2020 after emblematic club players: the older one for Christian Darrouy, the newer for Benoît Dauga. In 2023-2024 a 2,700-seat stand, the tribune Eovest, was added behind the north goal line, and a synthetic pitch was laid in summer 2023.
