Ewood Park
Ewood Park is a football stadium in Blackburn, Lancashire, and the home of Blackburn Rovers FC since they moved there from Leamington Road in the summer of 1890. The stadium, which opened in 1882 as a sports stadium, is an all-seater facility which holds 31 000 people. The record attendance was 62 000 against Bolton Wanderers FC, in March 1929. Like many English stadiums, Ewood Park remained relatively unchanged for most of the 20th century until outside factors forced change. In the summer of 1984, part of the Nuttall Street Stand was damaged by fire. Instead of rebuilding the stand, the club's directors decided to install two banks of executive boxes in place of the destroyed section.
