About
Quick facts: The atmosphere here buzzes with the roar of passionate fans, especially during rugby matches that attract tens of thousands. The stadium is famous for its pitchside roar, often described as one of the most intimidating in sports.
Highlights: Legend says the crowd once stayed completely silent for 47 seconds before erupting to support their team, creating an awe-inspiring moment on the planet’s quietest sports ground. Fans wear green and white hoops, filling the stands with a sea of color and energy that's almost tangible.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking the stands and pitch perimeter.
- Bring a camera for shots of the iconic green and white hooped fans and panoramic pitch views.
- Avoid arriving just before kick-off to bypass the biggest crowds at entrance gates.
- Grab a drink at the stadium bar post-tour to soak in the fan culture even on quiet days.
