Portman Road, Football stadium in Ipswich, England
Portman Road is a football stadium in Ipswich featuring four main stands arranged around the pitch with a seating capacity of around 30,000. The stands are named the Sir Bobby Robson Stand, Cobbold Stand, Sir Alf Ramsey Stand, and West Stand.
The stadium was founded in 1884 and evolved from a basic sports ground into a modern facility over the decades. All-seater conversion happened in the 1990s, transforming it into a contemporary venue.
Two bronze statues outside the stadium honor Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson, legendary managers who shaped the club's greatest periods of success. The sculptures stand as tributes to the deep connection between the team and the figures who defined its history.
The ground is located around 450 yards from Ipswich railway station, making it easily accessible by public transport. Food concessions are available throughout the venue, and designated areas for disabled supporters are clearly marked.
A hybrid pitch was installed in 2021 along with new dugouts, improving playing surface quality for matches. This upgrade enhanced player safety and the overall standard of the playing environment.
