Edinburgh Rugby’s stadium near Murrayfield has been a long-standing project with plans completed in 2021; there hasn’t been a major new stadium opening since then. The venue is a 7,800-capacity, semi-permanent 4-sided stand facility adjacent to BT Murrayfield, primarily used for training and match-day events when permitted.[1][2]
Key facts:
- Location and size: Adjacent to BT Murrayfield on the Murrayfield campus; about 7,800 capacity with roughly 5,800 seats and space for 2,000 standing fans.[2][5]
- Purpose and use: Built to provide Edinburgh Rugby with a dedicated home ground, originally intended for spectator use as restrictions allowed; later usage has included training and competitive activities.[1][2]
- Status updates: As of early 2021, completion was announced with the club moving into the new home; there hasn’t been reporting of a full public opening match since then in the sources provided.[2][1]
If you’d like, I can search for the latest local news or official Edinburgh Rugby communications to confirm any new developments or openings since 2021. I can also pull a short summary of how the stadium is used today and any recent renovations or events.
