The central field covers an area of 8,750 square meters, and the stadium has a seating capacity of 82,000, arranged in tiers around the venue. Without a doubt, it is the home of English rugby union, having hosted numerous high-profile rugby events, such as the Middlesex Sevens, the Rugby Union Premiership Finals, the Heineken Cup, and the Rugby World Cup.
