Stade Franco-Frogheri, Football stadium in Nuoro, Italy.
Stade Franco-Frogheri is a football stadium in Nuoro with a natural grass playing surface measuring 110 by 65 meters. Seating is arranged across covered and open sections, creating different viewing experiences throughout the ground.
Construction began in 1928, when King Victor Emmanuel III laid the foundation stone, replacing the old Crapasabba ground in the town centre. The stadium opened in 1930 and was long known as Stadio Quadrivio. In 2005 it was named after Franco Frogheri, a former Nuorese striker commemorated by a plaque at the main stand.
Since 2005 the stadium has been named after Franco Frogheri, a striker for the Nuoro team remembered on a plaque at the entrance to the main stand. For over fifty years before that it was called Stadio Quadrivio, after the road junction beside it.
The ground holds 3,440 seats: the central stand has 957 places, 495 of them covered, plus 15 press seats. The north curve takes 998 and the south side stand 262. The pitch is open to the sky, so only part of the main stand gives shelter.
The record attendance of 6,000 was set in the 1983-84 Interregional Championship match against San Marco Cabras, won 2-1 by Nuorese, the game that sealed the club's first promotion to Serie C2. The stadium was called Quadrivio for over fifty years because it stood beside a multiple road junction.
