Stade Pierre-Mauroy

A convertible stadium whose lower bowl slides over the pitch for indoor events; it hosted the 2016 Davis Cup final.

Stade Pierre-Mauroy has been the home of Lille OSC since 2012, and holds 50,186 spectators for football. The playing surface is hybrid grass, and the record attendance of 50,000 was set in a fixture that still gets talked about in Villeneuve-d'Ascq.

For a matchday, the ground sits in Villeneuve-d'Ascq and is served by local rail and bus routes; arriving 45 minutes before kick-off is the difference between a queue and a seat. Away supporters are usually housed in one corner block, and the atmosphere is loudest behind the goal at the home end.
