Stade Marcel-Verchère

Stade Marcel-Verchère, Rugby stadium in Bourg-en-Bresse, France

Stade Marcel-Verchère is a rugby stadium in Bourg-en-Bresse featuring two playing fields. The main pitch accommodates around 11,400 spectators and uses a hybrid grass surface combining natural turf with synthetic microfibers.

US Bressane settled on the site in 1917, on marshy ground with a wooden changing hut near the fairground. The stadium was named in 1937 after Marcel Verchère, a winger who died on 26 October from a violent tackle suffered against Oyonnax two days earlier. The Senetaire stand was inaugurated in autumn 2007; the north stand was rebuilt and opened on 17 November 2017, and the Millet stand was replaced between late 2018 and late 2019.

The stadium is named after Marcel Verchère, a wing three-quarter of Union Sportive Bressane who died on 26 October 1937, two days after a violent tackle in a match against Oyonnax on 24 October 1937; it was named in his memory that same year. Local supporters call the ground "le chaudron violet", the purple cauldron, after the club colours.

The stadium has 8,840 places, 6,540 of them seated, split between the Pierre Senetaire stand in the south (1,824 seats, with the VIP lounge), the covered CGT stand in the north (3,244 seats) and the Est stand (1,472 seats), which receives visiting supporters. A club house hosts post-match receptions and meals, and a training pitch behind the north stand is used for warm-ups.

The stadium is nicknamed "le chaudron violet" (the purple cauldron), after the violet colours of Union Sportive Bressane. The pitch measures 100 m by 70 m. Behind the Senetaire stand are the weight room, changing rooms, coaches' offices and the doping control room.
