Deva Stadium

Deva Stadium is a football ground in Chester with three seating sections for home supporters and a terraced area for away fans, holding up to 6,000 people. The facility is modern and laid out to give spectators clear views of the pitch throughout.

The ground opened in 1992 after Chester City left their previous home at Sealand Road. It was groundbreaking as one of England's first venues to meet new safety standards.

The name Deva comes from the Roman fort Deva Victrix that once stood in Chester, linking the modern sports ground to the city's ancient military past. This connection to antiquity gives the venue a sense of place rooted in history.

The stadium has parking available on site, though spaces can fill up on match days depending on the crowd. Access to the ground is straightforward and there are social areas for visitors before and after games.

The playing pitch sits entirely in Wales while the main entrance and parking remain in England, creating an unusual border arrangement. This geographic quirk makes the ground one of the few sports venues that straddles two nations.
